P.S.: I know this sort of thing is difficult to debug without playing around with the computer in person. The printer name is shown, so I think connection is fine. The default folder for me to choose is /usr/share/ppd/hp, but when I choose anything, the box is still empty, saying I should choose a file. Meanwhile, I was prompted to choose a PPD file. : KLocalSocket(0x129ca60) Jumbo packet of 33928 bytes : KLocalSocket(0x129ca60) Jumbo packet of 33514 bytes : KLocalSocket(0x129ca60) Jumbo packet of 33940 bytes

There are the console error messages when I invoke hp-setup: HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. When I was finding material to solve this, unfortunately I find HP seems not to support Arch Linux. A dialog box appeared, which asked me for 'PPD' file, and I don't know where it is and what it is for. I ran sudo hp-setup (as advised here: Configure your printer using hp-setup). When I tried to print some document, no printer was found. I have installed hplip (refer to: CUPS/Printer-specific problems) when installing, I recall there were a lot of error messages. The printer is a 'HP Color LaserJet M552'. I want to connect to the HP printer there, already connected to the Ethernet of the lab. I now use a PC (of the lab where I work now) on which I have successfully installed Arch Linux not long ago.
