I have a new printer - what should I tell my Linux O.S. ?
I had an HP laser printer that my Ubuntu 20.x recognized.
When I trash my broken printer and hook up my new HP printer, what should I do to tell my Ubuntu Linux to recognize it, or will it be plug and play and just recognize it?
Addendum: The usb cord didn't come with my new HP laserjet printer & the old usb cord from the other printer doesn't seem to plug into it. It bosts it's wireless, but I know my old hp desktop isn't. what type of usb cord i need to plug into it?
the new printer is a black and white hp laserjet called model # : m209dwe
