HP printer and scanner installation

Question

First I downloaded printer driver software from HP.

In the terminal window I always get error code 100 when installing an HP printer and scanner, so the installation does not work. How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install hplip libqt5printsupport5  
hp-setup --gui  

If you have problems run the second command in interactive mode instead of GUI mode.

hp-setup --interactive  

Answer 2

There's no need to download an HP driver, they are built-in in Ubuntu. Open the terminal and type hp-setup. See if you can install the printer now.
