Using Printer

[marlowenormal82]

Hello. I am brand new to Linux (less than a week). I need to know if there is a way to use my current printer or if I need to buy a new one. It is an HP Deskjet 2544. Please, help. Thanks.

Install the hplip driver package and also make sure to install the hplip-gui package. The gui gives a very nice screen for setup, health checking, and other tools. HP has great support for Linux.

After downloading hplip cd to the directory that you have the .run file in.
Run this in the terminal.

./hplip-3.19.1.run and press Enter. Let the script run and finish.
