After a day troubleshooting problems with Windows auto-detect printer, connecting printer to raspberry pi, I finally did it.

Few words from me tho.

I didn't want it to be a pain in the rear seat to add CUPS shared printer for my rommates who are not "computers nerds". I want windows machines to automatically find and add driver for my printer. Tutorials that I was using weren't helpful enough and AI just spits words that have no sense I had to do it myself.

I'm not an expert, just a guy who has a really old printer HP LaserJet P2014 and want it to use it over WiFi.

So I present to you a really short and easy to follow guide how to setup a HP printer.

Setup:

System: Raspberry Pi 4

OS: Raspbian LITE 64bit

Printer: HP LaserJet P2014 connected with USB.

Step 1.

Update your system.

sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y

Step 2.

Install CUPS.

sudo apt install cups

Step 3.

add your user to an admin list (It prevents system from cutting you of from admin settings in CUPS)

usermod -a -G lpadmin…
