will the installation install a old hp printer that needs hplip automatically?

[To Me]

Hello All
i have problems to install a hp p1102 usb printer after i have installed the system.
installation of hplip does not work.
so i wonder if connecting the printer when installing the system would install it automatically?

HP support: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-pro-p1102-printer-series/4110394 recommends HPLIP.

See screenshot of Synaptic Package Manager, HPLIP and its dependences are in our repos.

This guide: https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/install/install/index is the HP walk-through, I've never used a HP printer, its install script seems to be similar to my old Samsung AIO printer.

But HP seems to require a discovery and configuring of printer with pictorial guide.

Good luck.

You may also want to instal hplip-gui

sudo apt install hplip-gui

when i tried this this was already installed.
but i could install the p1102 and it works with this

hp-setup

and after that with this

hp-plugin

forgot to mention.
when installing i got the message that peppermintOS was not listed in the distro list you could choose.
they show a lot of distro's and i choose debian
