HP printer on Ubuntu 20.04
Solved
Hello,
A friend asked me to install a Linux system on his computer. I installed the same distribution as the one I have on my computer, namely Ubuntu 20.04. I have a problem because his HP Envy 4525 printer does not work on his computer. However, it works on mine, but the two computers, as far as I know, have the same packages and settings. Does anyone have an idea what I should check to make it work?

Hello,
Can you take a look at this tutorial? Also, make sure the necessary packages are installed:
sudo apt update sudo apt install hplip printer-driver-hpijs cups cups-client cups-filters system-config-printer
... and that your printer is properly set up:- either via CUPS: http://localhost:631
- or via:
system-config-printer
;
If the printer is still not detected, let us know how it is connected to the PC (via USB, via Wi-Fi, ...).
If it is connected over the network (not via USB), please provide the IP address of your printer and the output of the commandip route
on the PC.
Good luck!
