[SOLVED] Where are hplipopensource's cli commands?

[RLynwood]

Hello,

HP's hplipopensource site includes instructions for downloading/installing HP's printer software, its Device Manager, on its site http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...all/index.html. That page used to include the commands each instruction set refers to; now it doesn't. I've asked its help section, hplipopensource's page in Ubuntu's Launchpad, to no avail; no answer after nearly two weeks. Can anyone here tell me where those commands are?

Regards,
Lynn

Open a konsole and cd into the directory you downloaded the file to.

Type: sh ./hplip-x.xx.x.run, where x is the version number.

Thank you, snowhog; that did it. I installed it into four distros.

I've used them both. The website has the latest version. The repository version works well for me and tells me if there is a newer version on the website. Both pull down the necessary plugin to get duplex printing..
