HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M182nw与Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS的兼容性咨询

Hi there! I’ve dug into this question for you, and here’s the breakdown based on community experiences and HP’s stated support:

• First off, even though HP hasn’t explicitly confirmed compatibility with Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS specifically, their website listing Linux/UNIX as supported platforms is a strong indicator it should work. HP’s Linux support typically covers major, stable distro releases like Ubuntu’s LTS versions.
• Ubuntu 20.04.3 uses CUPS (the standard printing system for Linux), which has solid out-of-the-box support for most HP LaserJet models. The M182nw is a relatively modern MFP, so detection should be smooth.
• To get it up and running, here’s what you can try:
  1. Connect the printer to your Ubuntu system either via USB, or over your network (the M182nw supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, so make sure it’s on the same network as your computer).
  2. Open Settings → Printers, then click Add Printer. The system should automatically detect the M182nw if it’s connected properly.
  3. If automatic detection fails, you can manually select "HP" as the manufacturer, then look for the "HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M182nw" model in the list.
  4. For full functionality (including scanning), install the HP Linux Imaging and Printing package by running this command in the terminal:

     sudo apt update && sudo apt install hplip
     

• From what other users have reported, this printer works reliably on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for both printing and scanning tasks. The lack of explicit confirmation from HP likely just means they haven’t tested this exact minor LTS update, but the core compatibility holds.
