Hallo Victor,
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately ' hplip ' is still incompatible with ubuntu 23.10
I did some tests and now I solved it by installing the printer on
Windows 10.
Greetings.

Hello,
*I can't install an hp printer*. My operating system is xubuntu 23.10
The hp instructions say to download and run this command : 'sh
hplip-3.23.12.run'
in synaptic install
hplip
you'll have everything!
this might be the same pkg:

select ubuntu

It helps to know what HP printer is at issue.
As Marc suggests, start first with the standard software. Maybe your
printer is newer than what is available with the HP version in the
respositories. Only then do you need to turn to the HP install script
from HP.
But, newer HP printers should also be CUPS compatible and not need a
specific script (at least for basic printing features).
https://www.openprinting.org/printers
A good overview of CUPS is at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS
And, what does the HP script say about compatibility with Xubuntu 23.10?
Another option is to skip the HP software entirely and to turn to
gutenprint (especially for older printers) at
https://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/.
It appears from your message that the HP script requires software that
is not included in the respositories for xubuntu 23.10.
Finally, a trick I have employed with HP printers is to install
drivers for an older model that is in the same engineering path as the
model I have (i.e., a deskjet 500 driver for the deskjet 550 I have).
HP does not really change things in the same printer series. The trick
is finding the right series for model of printer you have.
