So i have an HP printer the “Deskjet f2480” model.
Tried to add it using the printer app but looking thru the drivers, the needed driver isn’t there.
Tried to use a different driver but doesn’t work.
Went to check the HP website only to end up on this site telling me to download and run HPLIP.
Running it doesn’t do anything, not even in konsole.
Does anyone have any alternatives or fix? I apparently have one of the most obscure printers on earth.
