Hello All,

Fully up to date Jessie installation

my printer recently died and I replaced it with a new OfficeJet as
above. Regrettably support is not available with hplip in Jessie, nor
with version 3.16.11 that is current in hplip downloads.

Has anyone achieved success with this device and, if so how?

HP's website: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/officejet.html

The Min. HPLIP Version is 3.16.7. Debian has that in backports for Jessie.

The changelog at backports has

 hplip (3.16.7+repack0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
    - Support for new HP printers:
      × Officejet Pro 8730

Many thanks, Brian. Jessie backports gave me 3.16.11 so I'll be giving
it a test flight tomorrow. (It's past my bed time :-) )

Thanks again, Brian. Once I fiddled with the missing Python component(s)
- by pure guesswork - I was able to print. Scanning is an issue for
another day as xsane produces a thin strip of over-printed rubbish. I'll
probably wait for Stretch before exploring further.

The 8730 looks like a smart device but at 220+ GBP I'd want it working,
Now!

Are you using the USB port or is the device on the network? Either way,
all that is needed for printing is printer-driver-hpcups, unless you are
wedded to having all that hplip provides. You should be able to purge
hplip and whatever python packages it pulled in and printing should
still work. Perhaps best, though, to ignore me and leave things as they
are if you are happy with this situation. You are printing after all.

Scanning? Set up the device wirelessly (it can be left connected by USB
for this, I think) and enable AirPrint/Bonjour from its EWS (embedded
web server):

 http://IP_of_the_8730

After that

 scanimage -L

should pick up the scanner. xsane should offer it as choice if you there
is more than one scanner on the network. Or it should just detect the
OfficeJet and display.

There's £50.00 cashback, I wouldn't willingly part with £220.00 either.

I'm connected via Ethernet so all my computers can use the device. Call
me old fashioned: I've been using Ethernet since the '80s and I trust
the security of wires rather more than wireless.

I thought that AirPrint/Bonjour was Apple related so I haven't
investigated it to date. The printer has a nice facility of scanning to
the front USB port, outputting PDF amongst other formats. It suits me
for the time being.

A 63 character WPA key isn't, I believe, inherently less secure than a
wired connection.

Avahi plays the same role on Debian as Bonjour. The command above should
also work with ethernet.

This may be of little interest to anyone but that has never stopped me in
the past. 

I recently configured cups to share my usb connected Brother HL-2030 (no
ethernet port) with my spouse's (funny word, that--mon épouse) windows
laptop via IPP. No samba, simple as pie.

Local lan sharing.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS/Printer_sharing#Between_GNU.2FLinux

Actually I'm ashamed to say configured because all I did was check
"Share printers connected to this system" in the Cups adminstration web
interface tab and add a printer to the windows (10) machine (shared
printer by name) whose location is:

http://192.168.0.26:631/printers/HL-2030-series

Yes, I always have the same internal lan ip address.
