  Hi Peter.

 A quick search on Google shows me that your printer is supported by
 the HPLIP packages.

 run "sudo aptitude install hplip hplip-gui" to install these packages.

 (And if you want access to the scanner too, add sane and xsane to the
 list of packages in the above command.

 Then run "sudo hp-setup", and select the "Jetdirect" option.

 The IP address looks like it has been assigned by DHCP from your router.
 It may well be worth either to lock down that IP address at the router
 DHCP settings, or set the IP address as a static on the printer itself.
 The goal being to ensure its IP address doesn't change from time to time.

 Here's where I found the info.

 Hope this helps.

 Morrie.

 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.

  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?
