Hei @Carver welcome and thanks for your message, we are here for help!

First in which distribution are you? I think in some Ubuntu - Mint derivate?

Installing a printer on Linux might be a bit tricky for no-tech persons. But let’s try :slight_smile:

  • Install cups or check if cups is running. If it is not running launch the command: sudo systemctl start cups and sudo systemctl enable cups
  • Install hplip from official repositories
  • Once installed you can configure you printer trough the printer gui, run this command for install print manager: sudo apt install print-manager, this is a wrapper for cups daemon
  • Open the print-manager software from menu (should be something like Printer or Printer Configuration) and on there you should see your printer. If not just install it and, since you already installed hplip, you should be able to install the local printer, just choose the correct driver while setupping the printer

That would be a complete guide how to printing in Linux :slight_smile:
