I managed to install it manually and I can print now. Thanks to all of you for the support.

I have found the cups printer drivers to work better for HP printers.

Edit: That printer is listed as Laserjet m14-m17 in the HP section.

No I ran the hplip I just installed. How do I install the CUPS version?

When I try to print it tells me it's a generic printer not a HP M14-M17 series.

M14-M17 series.

It's supported. It works under openSUSE.

Have you installed the HP Printing package in MXPI?


Also, please share your full Quick System Info, thanks :)

Yes I used MXPI to install it.

System:
Kernel: 6.1.0-13-amd64 [6.1.55-1] arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.0
parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-13-amd64 root=UUID ...

The system tells me HPLIP is installed but...

sudo apt install hplip
Reading package lists... Done

hplip is already the newest version (3.22.10+dfsg0-2).

$ sudo hplip ...

I managed to add the Applications menu. My video is set at 1152x864 and all is well. Many thanks.

No because I am a little reluctant to use the cli method as I don't know how to backup my panel.

I am back on MX Linux. My equalizer solution was simple. I stuck a car equalizer under my monitor foot and run it off my desktop power supply. It gives me 7 bands, adjustable by knobs as sound is playing. I do appreciate all of your efforts to help me.
