Hi,
I failed to install a printer (HP deskjet 2510) on my computer that run Fedora 20. I tried to do it in this way:
1. Before I got the driver (following the instruction on the site HPLIP).
I was able to complete this task, and now in the my computer exists a directory: /home/my_name/Desktop/hplip-3.14.6
(I think in this directory is istalled the driver).
2. After I tried to “ADD the PRINTER”: I did this opening the “printers dialog”, where I pushed the button “unlock” and after the button “Add New Printer”. A window appeared, and in this windows I found the printer that I would like to install (previously I used the command <# iptables -F> to reach this result - as I red on this forum).
The printer that I wound install (as printer in the net) was indicated as HP-2515 on the computer //Nelly N.B. I got the driver for the printer HP DESKJET 2510 ALL-IN-ONE (not 2515). Selecting this printer I pushed the button Add.
A dialog appeared where i could selected, before Helwet-Packard, and after: “Deskjet 2510 Series, hpcups 3.14.6”.
At confirmation of this selection I got the message “Failed to add new printer.”.
I tried still to download another driver from the site HPLIP, but I was not able to do it this second time.

Unless I'm badly mistaken, that's not a directory, that's the file you downloaded. Now, you have to make it executable and run it to install the driver. (I can't think of any good reason why a driver would even try to install itself to a directory like that.)

I just went to the site, and the actual file is hplip-3.14.6.run
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.14.6.run
you do have to make that executable, then run it.

=================== Hi
thank you to all for answering me.
As well I have some past experience with Linux (because I used Unix many years ago), I am new to Fedora, now, having lost all the practice with this environment. For this I apologize if I don't put quite well my question.
1. --------------- It look to me that hplip-3.14.6 is not a file but it is a directory:
[angelo@zorro Desktop]$ ls -l total 12 drwxr-----. 20 angelo angelo 12288 Jun 25 17:59 hplip-3.14.6
and:
[angelo@zorro Desktop]$ ls hplip-3.14.6 aclocal.m4 hpmudext_la-hpmudext.lo libhpmud_la-mlc.lo align.py hppgsz libhpmud_la-model.lo base hppgsz-PrinterProperties.o libhpmud_la-musb.lo check-plugin.py hpssd.py libhpmud_la-pml.lo check.py info.py libhpmud_la-pp.lo clean.py init-iptables-firewall libhpmud_la-utils.lo colorcal.py __init__.py libsane-hpaio.la common init-suse-firewall libsane_hpaio_la-bb_ledm.lo config.guess installer libsane_hpaio_la-common.lo config.log install.py libsane_hpaio_la-hpaio.lo config.status install-sh libsane_hpaio_la-http.lo config.sub io libsane_hpaio_la-io.lo configure ip libsane_hpaio_la-ledm.lo configure.in ipmain.lo libsane_hpaio_la-marvell.lo config_usb_printer.py jccolor.o libsane_hpaio_la-mfpdtf.lo copier jdatadbf.o libsane_hpaio_la-pml.lo COPYING levels.py libsane_hpaio_la-sanei_init_debug.lo copyright libapdk.la libsane_hpaio_la-scl.lo
ecc ecc.... ecc ecc....
2.--------------------------------------- I went to the site http://hplipopensource.com/node/249 (where I run the installation), because I didn't find the exact driver for my printer... (now I find it).
I am not sure how hplip works, ... I can think that it supplies the drivers for linx environment, but in what way ?? could I have a more exact explanation?
3. --------------------------------------- Is my opinion that (now) the problem is connected with the URI of the printer on the net. seem to me that this information is not found from the installer.
In the dialog, the printer that I wound install (as printer in the net) was indicated as HP-2515 //Nelly (Nelly is the name of the -Window server computer- that manage the printer- there it is the name of computer, but it is not indicate any IP address)
4. --------------------------------------- some one can help me to interpret the message of error that I got when occurred the failure of the installation of the printer:
[Client 15] Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost/printers/HP-2515) from localhost
thank you

hplip is already in Fedora, or maybe rpmfusion. Did you try that?
