I checked this topic : How to connect the HP laserjet 1020 plus printer to Zorin is?
As per topic i did all but failed. Please suggest how to install this printer.
thanks a lot.
Welcome to the Forum!
When You go to Settings>Printers is Your Printer there detected/shown?
Agreed with Ponce. Make sure you've added your printer to the system.
You might require HPLIP installed as well.
Software Store...
For power users... Synaptic
Generally, this is enough to get an HP printer working, especially for wired printers. If using bluetooth, you might require adding it to your system via bluetooth connections as well.
Hi, and welcome.
First thing to do is to install Synaptic Package Manager, either through Software or via the terminal with:
sudo apt install synaptic
You will be asked for your password to install. Once installed launch Synaptic Package Manager - if still in the Terminal (Just enter Terminal in Menu search bar to launch) enter:
sudo synaptic
Once launched, click on 'Search' and enter:
printer-driver-all
Next, once it has been found, click on the little square to the left, right-click and select 'Mark for installation', then click on 'Apply'. What this is is a meta package that pulls everything in together, including CUPS, HPLIP, Gutenprint and most importantly, foomatic. I am in a different OS at the moment, but I have installed printer-driver-all on it and 1020 Plus shows up when I add it:
But don't go via Settings when you want to add a printer. The best way to do this is via the terminal with the command:
sudo system-config-printer
This is something I learned from the PearOS forum (sadly no more) many years ago. If you printer is networked, the first thing you will need to do is to halt autodiscovery, and then to disable it - all this is explained in the Unofficial Manual for Zorin 17:
thanks for detail information.

Like you suggested :

This was for a different printer but the process is the same. (Don't think I knew about printer-driver-all until a helpful person who inputs regularly to PCLOS Debian and Q4OS forum).
Screenshots are given in the Unofficial Manual for each stage of the process.
Have you managed @intrex to install your printer?
Not working any options as described above.
I recently installed TeamViewer to help out another forum member and took over their machine. Do you want me to try? (no guarantees)
