Dear Rocky Linux Family, I have got an HP Deskjet 3775 printer. I wish to connect it to my Rocky Linux 8.5 system I tried installing hplip from the repositories using dnf install hplip-common It failed to install some components from some alex_sh link. I am sorry, I uninstalled the hplip-common…

I meant to ask if anyone has used the HPLIP .rpm file from that HP webpage. the download yields hplip-3.22.4-RHEL8-x86_64.rpm BR,

Hi, I documented how I installed up my HP printer - check it out, maybe it will help. [image] Scanning with HP printers on Rocky Linux Rocky Linux General I found that my HP Envy 4500 printer will print fine, but Document Scanner did not detect the printer as a scanner. I…

Hi @RL1000 I tried dnf search hplip it yielded this: [root@galileo nmp]# dnf search hplip alex_sh’s Home Project (CentOS_8) 722 B/s | 1.1 kB 00:01 Errors during downloadin…

I am just a user of Rocky Linux and so not an expert, but what strikes me is: alex_sh’s Home Project (CentOS_8) 722 B/s | 1.1 kB 00:01 This seems to indicate you are using Centos Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘home_alex_sh’: home_alex_sh is not the name of a Rocky repo …

@RL1000 I am using Rocky Linux - I know what I am seeing :smiley: OK, OK Thanks, but I did not install this alex_sh repository. I thought if i do dnf install xyz, then it wil look for xyz in ALL repositories, including the default Rocky Linux ones?

I would suggest disabling the alex_sh repository found most likely in /etc/yum.repos.d/ I’m curious that why is this installed on your system? Migrated from CentOS? You can edit the file and changed enabled=1 to enabled=0, you can also do it with. dnf config-manager --set-disabled alex_sh Also,…

@iwalker Thanks for your inputs. OK I went and tried to look at /etc/yum.repos.d/ using ls [root@galileo nmp]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ [root@galileo yum.repos.d]# ls This gives a set of repositories, which do not line up well here, so I am putting a screenshot. [Screenshot from 2022-05-15 19-50-1…

There is a home:alex_sh.repo in that screenshot, right in the middle of it! Just above the nice green onlyoffice.repo - whatever that is as well probably also isn’t needed. I would move those two files to /root for the time being, and delete them completely later.

Hi @iwalker Thanks Ian, I should have searched better. Just did not expect alex_sh to be prefaced by home: Anyway, when you say move those two files to /root, did you mean alex_sh and onlyoffice.repo? Should I just move them to /root using mv command? Apologies for asking common questions… BR

Yes: mv /etc/yum.repos.d/onlyoffice.repo /root/ mv /etc/yum.repos.d/home:alex_sh.repo /root/
