How to Install HPLIP 3.23.5 in Ubuntu Linux

HPLIP offers official .run installer available to download at the link below:

Download HPLIP (.run)

Once you downloaded the file, right-click on blank area in ‘Downloads’ folder and select “Open in Terminal”.

When terminal opens, run the commands below one by one:

Add executable permission for the file:
```
chmod u+x hplip-3.23.5.run
```
Run the file, follow the on-screen prompt and answer some questions:
```
./hplip-3.23.5.run
```

Until the command done without errors, you can plug or re-plug your HP printer for the new driver to work.

NOTE: The .run installer so far does not support Ubuntu 23.04! But, after running the previous commands, it generated the source folder in user ‘Downloads’ folder. Right-click on that folder and select ‘Open in Terminal’, then 23.04 user can run the commands below one by one to build from source:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-qt5 --disable-qt4

make -j4

sudo make install

Uninstall HPLIP 3.23.5

As mentioned above, running the installer will create a source folder in user ‘Downloads’ folder.
