    I just wanted to add that I just installed hplib version 3.11.7 from the website and it does include the CP1525nw now.

    I cannot get my printer to print more than one page at a time, and it takes a long time. I use CUPS if that helps thank you.

    Here is an update to my earlier workaround with the "Color LaserJet" driver to get this printer going.

    With this update, it will be a lot speedier printing your pictures and color pages!

    Verify what version of HPLIP you have by issuing the following command:
    Code:
    apt-cache showpkg hplip
    or by checking with your package manager.

    If not installed, please install it, if you have version 3.11.5 or newer, skip to part B, if not start here:

    Part A.
    Updating HPLIP to version 3.11.5 or newer:
    Run the following command to add the PPA repository for HPLIP:
    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hplip-isv/ppa
    After this, you will want to upgrade your system:
    Code:
    sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove
    Once done, you are ready to install the HPLIP Binary Plug-In.

    Part B.
    The HPLIP Binary Plug-In is needed to get the driver to install properly. To install it, run the following command:
    Code:
    sudo hp-setup
    and follow the prompts to install:

    1. Select your connection type and click "Next".

    2. Select your printer from "Selected Devices" list and click "Next".

    3. Use the recommended installation method and click "Next".

    4. Check the box to accept with the "Driver Plug-In License Agreement" and click "Next".

    5. Finish the installation of the printer as normal.


    PPA page link.

    HPLIP Binary Plug-In page.

    Good luck!

    My experience:

    Ubuntu 11.10

    Click System Settings > Printing > Add

    Enter address of printer once it has network access (in my case 192.168.1.106)

    Click HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP)

    Choose HP > go with recommended (HP 1520 series)

    Voila!

    I have followed this and other threads, and got my cp1525nw working perfectly with ubuntu 11.10, using hp1520 series, as in the previous post.
    Now I am using ubuntu 12.04, and hp1520 series is not available in the list. Does anyone have any advice, ideas?

    To get this printer to work (under 12.04) you need HPLIP 3.12.4 according to HP. But as you have noticed, 12.04 only comes with HPLIP 3.12.2. Problem is, currently you need to compile this from source if you fetch it from HP. HP apparently cannot understand the benefits of a package manager, they keep doing it the windows way by "brute-forcing" stuff onto peoples computers.

    The way I solved it was, I ran the following from the command prompt:
    Code:
    sudo hp-setup
    Then follow the prompts until last page, where you see it chose the wrong printer. At this point, point it to the ppd used on your older machine.
    It can be found in "/etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_CP1525nw.ppd".

    If you do not have it, I have attached it here also.

    Happy printing!

    Just wanted to update everyone that this printer works with Kubuntu 12.04 out of the box - no installation needed, printer appears in "Printer Configuration" after being plugged into USB. Takes a while to warm up, but works fine afterwards.
