New to Linux and to LQ. Looking for help getting my printer connected.


I have a HP Pavillion PC, running Linux 14.04 (32 bit), and a HP Envy 4500 all in one, color printer. I have downloaded the drivers - I believe - to my Desktop (hplip-3.15.11.run). I went to HP and tried to follow their directions for adding the instructions via the LX Terminal (which I believe to be a kernel). Those directions read:

To use the Automatic Installer, follow these steps:
Download the file to a convenient location (e.g., home directory or desktop, etc).
Open a console/terminal and cd to the location where the installer was downloaded. (e.g., cd ~/Desktop)
Type in and run this command: 'sh hplip-3.15.11.run'

but I keep getting a message that says "Command not found". Perhaps I don't have the correct "convenient location"?

I am NO kind of "techie", or very knowledgeable about PCs. So, I'm looking for help.
Thanks,
