In my personal way to
#UnplugTrump, I've encountered my personal nemesis.
Bringing an HP Envy 4525 to life does not work. It should run on Kubuntu 24.10 LTS.
With hplip I can only bring the printer online. Scanning is not shown.
I've tried hplip of Canicals repo (3.22) and the installer (3.25) from
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing.
It is the last remain we would need a WinOS in out home networks. That's insane and I can't stay with that, even when we just print 50 pages/y. In these times the need of the Scanner to digitalize public paper is more essential than printing, as we ourselves just send mails.
So I need some support, proving Linux will replace Windows even as Workstation and professional office environment.

And for the future. Do you know open source printer with native Linux Support?
