How to set up a HP printer in Ubuntu

Adding a HP Printer: Make sure that the printer is connected to your PC with a USB cable and is switched on and powered up!. (Don't try wireless set-up before you run the USB set-up, there is a warning, see pic 2!) Firstly, update your system fully per this guide if you haven't already done so!: Secondly, install the package (after finishing updates!) "hplip-gui" and make sure your printer is connected and powered up. sudo apt-get install hplip-gui It can also be installed using Top Panel…

Good luck.
