HP Deskjet 2632 (printer-scanner) - leotje - 04-14-2021
Before switching to Linux Lite, i had Linux mint.
On both of them the technicians could not install an Epson printer;
They advized me to buy a HP printer > same impossible to install it.
Even another technician - specialized in Linux - could not install the scanner nor the printer.
So can anyone tell me if there are perfect drivers for installing it on linux Lite ?
Thousand thanks
Leo

My best bet, would be doing what I did with my HP Deskjet 3630, as described here:

You don't mention the model, but if you follow the manual - it works.
It did for my sooo old HPLasetjet1000

If you try and it doesn't you could follow the link provided below in the HP section... Resources for compatible Printers
Not sure what you've gone thru to try and install... but if you have changed/installed a lot it may be beneficial to revert to a previous state (Time Shift, if you made a backup) ...

A Linux technician could not install it?? Send him/her back to University

It's not officially supported, I gues HP skipped over it (unusual). You'll have to use the IPP method - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=239561 and https://scruss.com/blog/2019/05/02/possibly-painless-network-printing-from-your-raspberry-pi/

Sorry not sure why, font size went haywire.

I experienced problems with a HP Envy 5640 Multifunction printer that had worked perfectly under LL 3.8 but failed to work under LL 5.2. After doing some research I discovered that there is a known and well documented bug relating to several HP Printers and Ubuntu 20.04 which LL5.2 is based on.
The fix is as simple as opening XFCE terminal and then typing "sudo apt purge ippusbxd" enter. when complete, reboot PC and then print test page from printers properties page. ALL functions worked i.e. scanner, print multiple pages to single sheet etc - perfectly for me after following the above instructions and should solve all your issues also
