Let's assume that one has some modern HP printer and/or scanner which is not supported by HPLIP package from official repository.
Currently Ubuntu versions have the following versions in universe pocket:
bionic (18.04LTS): 3.17.10+repack0-5 focal (20.04LTS): 3.20.3+dfsg0-2 impish (21.10): 3.21.6+dfsg0-0ubuntu1
What can one do if printer is supported in newer version of HPLIP (checked this in HP Developer Portal | All Supported Printer Models)?
I am an absolute beginner with Ubuntu and I appear to have a long queue of documents in my H.P. 840C printer.
In the past I had a printer that had the booklet format option that would print the document two pages at a time ordered in a way that folding the whole printout would produce a booklet, half the size of the paper which could be stapled in the middle.
My current printer does not support this feature. I would like to use some utility or script to convert an A4 pdf to an A5 booklet one.
I found this page but I'm getting an error : pdfjam ERROR: can't find pdflatex!
How do I get past this issue? Does anybody know of any other solution?
I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64
Openning a png file in ubuntu, I can see the menu item for 'print to file'. How can I do the same on shell? PS: I prefer installing no extra package, due to lack of root access.
EDIT: the operating system is ubuntu 11.10
Is there a way to install a printer that prints to pdf?
There's a lot of discussions about this in the web foruns, but none seens to work.
