          Try this:



          Remove printer added via ---- System Settings--- Printers



          Open a terminal. (Ctrl+Alt+T).



          Run it:



          $ sudo -i
          # apt-get update
          # apt-get install --reinstall cups cups-browsed cups-bsd cups-client printer-driver-hpcups printer-driver-hpijs hplip sane-utils xsane libcups2 cups-client python3-dbus python3-notify2 python3-imaging python3-pyqt4 gtk2-engines-pixbuf python3-lxml libsane
          # usermod -a -G lp $USER
          # hp-setup


          Select the printer connection type.



          Select the Printer to be Configured, setup tool will display printers detected.



          Select the PPD file or driver to be Used for Your Printer, usually you will want to select the recommended.

          • I have done all things through # hp-setup. But at this option actually I don't know how to detect my share printer? I have just one printer, at my office. Through windows I detect our share printer through run command and IP address is\192.168.8.5. At this IP address I can connect my printer. But in ubuntu how I can done this process?

          • Try log in on the CUPS web interface and choose to add a new printer. As a device choose "Windows Printer via SAMBA".

          Maybe this will help someone having the same issue:



          I had the same error message when trying to access the printer with its IP-Address. When I used the hostname, it worked.



          --->



          This did not work:



          smb://192.168.0.77/Printer-Name


          Then I found out the Hostname with nslookup:



          $ nslookup 192.168.0.77
          [...] name=printerhost.local


          This worked:



          smb://printerhost.local/Printer-Name

              smb://192.168.0.77/Printer-Name


              Then I found out the Hostname with nslookup:



              $ nslookup 192.168.0.77
              [...] name=printerhost.local


              This worked:



              smb://printerhost.local/Printer-Name
