Presumably, Debian has a printer manager. I sometimes prefer to use the cups browser-based tool---just open a browser and enter "localhost:631".

You will need to have CUPS installed + I think the hplip package.

CUPS is the Linux printing system--it maybe is already installed--if not it gets installed using your package manager.

(CUPS has little to do with Samba)

PS: HPLIP should also be available with the package manager--that would be the better way to install it.
