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).
(press Enter)
Code:
sh hplip-3.19.8.run
(press Enter)
Then select a for automatic and follow the walkthrough instructions referred to in post #2.
