unable to setup the printer (hp laserjet p 1007) which require the hplip plugin and unable to install it using the hp-plugin or hp-setup -i command Checked in lenovo v14 with AMD 5500U and a KVM under linux. after downloading the plugin using hplip utility Plugin installation failed error: Plugin installation failed error: Firmware file '/usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_p1007.fw.gz' not found. error: Firmware download is Failed. it does not happen in the fedora 39,40 workstations. I believe it is because the /usr cant be modified and it is trying to do that Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: under fedora silverblue 40 1.connect hp printer which require the proprietary plugin(laserjet p1007) 2.run hp-setup -i 3. Actual Results: Plugin installation failed error: Plugin installation failed Done. ------------------------ | DOWNLOADING FIRMWARE | ------------------------ Downloading firmware to device hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_P1007?serial=NC0T0R2... warning: Unable to start hp-systray error: Firmware file '/usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_p1007.fw.gz' not found. Done. --------------------- | PRINT QUEUE SETUP | --------------------- warning: Unable to start hp-systray error: Firmware file '/usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_p1007.fw.gz' not found. error: Firmware download is Failed. the firmware folder in /usr/share/hplip/data is empty Expected Results: downloading and installing the hp plugin and working printer. In fedora workstation 39,40 it downloads the plugin and downloads the firmware to /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware and the printer functions properly
the error is definitely due to the immutability of the system after running `ostree admin unlock` i was able to run the `hp-setup` without error and successfully get the print out but it does not persist after reboot.
