5. 5. Installing HP Laser 107w/107a Driver

   To Install HP Laser 107w/107a on Linux Mint, first access the target directory:

   cd /tmp/uld*/uld

   Check if the package is there:

   ls | grep printer

   The grep command refines the output list, showing only the entries matching the keyword. Then give execution permissions:

   chmod +x install*.sh

   sudo ./install.sh

   First, type “q” and then “y” to quit the license agreement and accept it.
   

   For a network printer, try to set up the firewall automatically with “y”. In a few moments, the setup should be complete!
