Yes I did. They have given the HP-Check to run which has been useful but I need to go through output as it produces a lot of stuff and the documentation for this routine is not good. It has multiple options to use.
I will run hplip install tomorrow. I have now installed the NET-SNMP module as suggested to solve the HP error linked to hpmudext IO-Extension REQUIRED
I get this error on the last command listed above "sudo apt install --assume-yes python3-notify"
Package python3-notify is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'python3-notify' has no installation candidate
This is the output from the 4 above commands:-
Since installation, have you yet run
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
?
In Software & Updates are you set to Main Server?
The first question:- No I have not run sudo apt update ..
Second:- How can I check if they are set to Main Server?

What does the above command do and what should/could it help?
There is an app called Software & Updates where you can check.
By the way you should add the public key for Microsoft Edge. Here is the tutorial:
Thanks for the PUBKEY information. I am still getting back into Linux.
What do I put in the place of the XXXXXXXXX . It says it needs a KEY ID?
You should see the pubkey in the error which is displayed when you run sudo apt update
Yes Software & Updates are set to zorin_os-focal-main
On the first tab, about halfway down, you should see "Download From". Next to this is a Drop Down Menu, where you can select "Main Server".
Done!
Quite a learning curve.
Love it.
Thanks it worked now. I did you the key first as that was the obvious choice and it failed. Anyway must have made a mistake. Thanks for your help on this. Something else I have learnt
Done the upgrade and just get these warnings which I assume are normal and nothing to worry about.

Yes, you right. Personally... They annoy me. So I usually go ahead and take care of them. But generally, they often act as a placeholder.
You can see a thread on it here:
This is the write up for HP-CHECK which I would like to run before I run hplipxx.run but I dont understand this :- Run as python ./check.py
Check the existence and versions of HPLIP dependencies. (Run as 'python ./check.py' from the HPLIP tarball before installation.)
Usage: hp-check [OPTIONS]
[OPTIONS]
| Compile-time check: | -c or --compile |
|---|---|
| Run-time check: | -r or --run |
| Compile and run-time checks: | -b or --both (default) |
| Fix the found issues on confirmation: | --fix |
| Set the logging level: | -l or --logging= |
| : none, info*, error, warn, debug (*default) | |
| Run in debug mode: | -g (same as option: -ldebug) |
| Output plain text only: | -t |
| This help information: | -h or --help |
Notes:
At any point, had you tried installing hplip from terminal?
I wonder if it may provide a bit of ease, if you have not tried it already:
sudo apt install -y hplip hplip-gui
Thanks.
This could be helpful if I knew how to get into the HPLIP GUI after install. I type hplip-gui and nothing. I saw there was a hplip-gui in the packages manager software and installed that and tried to launched that and that just starts to do something and then closes again.
If launched from terminal with hplip-gui, do you see any errors?
It says hplip-gui command does not exist.
sudo apt install -y hplip hplip-gui

I try to be helpful...
This can happen when the village idiot (me) is eager, but ignorant. I do not use an HP Printer, so I am out of my element on this one...
You can run sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove to get rid of some of that clutter if you like.
The following portion states you have hplip-gui installed...
Try
hplip --gui
or
hp-setup --gui
