This installs the HP printer software which can download updated drivers for many supported printers. You may want to “remove” the printer first, then install the hplip package, then add the printer through the HPLIP application.
Yes, it is installed. I could not find it listed, so I tried to installed and got the following message:
~$ sudo apt install hplip
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done hplip is already the newest version (3.23.12+dfsg0-0ubuntu5). hplip set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
python3-netifaces
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove it.
I removed “python3-netifaces”. But I noticed " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded". How can I get a list of what was not upgraded?
