HPLIP installation

Really you have two options here:

  1. If your printer is not too new, then you can simply use HPLIP from MATE Welcome in Getting Started → Post Installation → Drivers → Printers:

    mw-hplip

    Note: if you want, you can install it with APT by executing sudo apt-get install hplip hplip-gui.

  2. If your printer is new, then you have to install binary HPLIP.

You can follow my Q&A on AskUbuntu for details -
