[SOLVED] Installing software to installed system via livecd
I am having trouble installing HPLIP (all versions) onto my system. When I go to configure the source code, it goes into a loop checking for a BSD install. So, to get around this I want to try and install HPLIP onto the system via a livecd. How would I go about doing this?

do you have internet connection? and what do you mean by all versions of HPLIP? you should be able to just install with synaptic or through command line, just install hplip package

The printer that I have (HP Photosmart Premium) is not supported by the HPLIP version that is in the repos. By all I mean I have tried compiling different versions.

After many hours of playing around with the printer and computer I finally got the printer working. I tried booting a livecd and downloading and compiling the source code there, then booting back into the system and make and installing it without any luck. In the end, I just reinstalled the system and everything went fine.
