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:
... and that your printer is properly set up:
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 command
Good luck!

Thank you mamiemando for your response, the printer wasn't registered in the livebox so I entered the IP information and the rest and it's working.
