hullo all :wave
I agree there is something not integrated into LL that makes setting up HP printers a pain. When I was using Solus, wifi drivers were built into the kernel and worked out of the can, so to speak. Now no big deal on LL a quick google and I was able to get internet going, but the HP laserjet printer is proving another matter :banghead I am truly stumped, and what makes it more frustrating is reading of people getting it working. I really don't want to have to install win 10 as I like LL, but very annoying after much fruitless searching to not be able to get the printer up and running, it prints from the android app, so I know there is no issue with the printer, very odd :019: :023:
Cheers all,

Forgive my late reply to this thread.
Has anyone had any experience with this printer, or other HP printers, in the latest version of Linux Lite?
Might try again later, as the confounded HP app is exasperating and frustrating.....that's two "ing" words I know. Call me fussy or pedantic, I just like to know how others have got on. No harm meant on.
Cheeers :027:

@landfill
I would suggest the following - if you haven't yet ---
https://www.freecinema2022.gq/manual/hardw...ml#printer
If still having issues - I'd start a new thread with Printer Model - LL version and Kernel if you've change from the default.
Has this printer worked on a previous version of LL?
