5. ./hplip-.*..run

Do not switch on the printer during the installation procedure!!! If the printer is switched on, make sure it is switched off before starting the installation procedure.

before the installation procedure starts the user must choose whether to install the driver manually (press c for custom) or automatically (press a for automatic). Best is to execute the installation procedure manually (custom) so that every step can be controlled and monitored by the user.

The installation procedure will check for missing ask if older versions of the HPLIP driver must be removed. Confirm that this should be done to avoid any conflicts with older package versions.

💂‍♀️ Always restart the computer, re-plugging in the printer doesn't always work. By restarting the computer and after logging in switching on the printer, the user forces Ubuntu to search for any printers connected.
