I have tried the wireless setup on the printer menu and connected to my home router successfully.Not sure if that is required.However, the printer now says it's IP address is 192.168.0.11.Not sure if that is the IP address that is relevant. On 29/06/18 10:50, Trent W. Buck wrote:

I am trying to do wireless printing for the first time with Linux but have not succeeded so far.
I have a HP photosmart 5520 printer which may not be working properly using a wireless connection.The printer sends out a wifi signal which I am able to connect to using my computer.A notification pops up saying I have connected to it.I am using Linux Mint 18.I don't know where to go from there.How do I print a test page? I have opened system-configuration-printer but the printer does not show up there like it does with a USB connection.The printer does not print using the USB connection as there is something wrong with the printer,I want to test it with the wirless connection before I throw it out. Does the printer have an IP address or hostname?
