hplip. Is it there? Need help deciphering terminal.

I have two laptops.

Laptop (1) has Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 3.2.7
Laptop (2) has Mint 20.1 Cinnamon 4.8.6

On both via terminal I entered dpkg -l hplip to see if hplip was installed. This what I got but it means nothing to me. The 'tutorial' I was following didn't explain further. So is it installed or not, and if so is it up to date?
