dagodave,
Your HP LaserJet Pro M14-17 printer is supported in Linux via hplip: https://www.download.co.id/2018/01/d...es-driver.html You appear to have clicked on Open instead of Save for the hplip-3.19.8.run file from Sourceforge. Try again and this time click on Save (see attached screenshot). You then need to open a Terminal and enter various commands. Is the hplip file in your Downloads folder or on your Desktop? Open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T). I am assuming that the hplip file is in your Downloads (change the following command to Desktop if necessary). Code:
cd Downloads Code:
sh hplip-3.19.8.run Then select a for automatic and follow the walkthrough instructions referred to in post #2. |
