hi
HP does have a driver but its dated 2017.
https://support.hp.com/au-en/drivers...eries/17156959
You might be better off with this driver....this is from debian based search
Code:
apt search splix
printer-driver-splix/stable 2.0.0+svn315-7 amd64
Driver for Samsung and Xerox SPL2 and SPLc laser printers
It might help if you mention the name of your distro and its release number
and do you already have cups installed please? |
