If you have a HP printer or scanner and you want to be able to use it on your Raspberryi Pi running the Raspbian operating system, you`ll have to install HP Linux Imaging and Printing and CUPS.

In the terminal run the following commands:

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install hplip cups
usermod -a -G lpadmin pi

In a browser, on the raspberry pi you can now access the CUPS configuration screen at http://127.0.0.1:631/

If you also would like to use your MFP/scanner also run the following commands in the terminal:

apt-get install sane
sane-find-scanner

The configuration and applications are up to you, the requirements are now installed.

It`s been a while since the last time I`ve made big changes to the see. Today I`ve switched themes to something lighter, not only in terms of colour but also in functionality.

As you already noticed, my writing skills are not the best. I can talk for hours but writing a descent article or blogpost is my weakness. Because i`m fully aware of this I will be working on it.
