There’s two options. I wasn’t sure of the HP printing option as i never used it before. I always select printing which installs cups and related packages.
Edit: I guess it probably installs printing support geared towards HP?
I’m sure it’s just a matter of how one goes through the setup to install the printer. Hp is a little different so i hear. I use brother and a canon but both are usb not network printers.
Well as I said I’m not sure what gets installed when you select the HP printer support on the installer. I am assuming it installs hplip? Or is it just installing the HP setup utility?
I’m trying to setup a priter with the print settings ui, and it gives me this cups server error. I have hplip and cups installed. Are there any logs I can give for this?
