Product: HP LaserJet 6L series printer

I need a Linux driver for an HP LaserJet 6L series printer on Linux in Linux Mint v. 19 on Mate Desktop.

 

Does HP have any Linux drivers for that printer that work?  The non-official HP Linux drivers made by third parties have not allowed my HP LaserJet 6L to print in Linux of any flavor.

 

The HP LaserJet 6l still prints fine in Windows XP, 7, 8, and 10.  But those are all with the Official HP Microsoft drivers.

 

My computer make and model is not a problem.  Every platform I've used the LaserJet 6L on with a windows OS has printed fine.

 

So this in not a hardware problem, just a Linux driver problem.  11-20-2018

The printer driver you mention is installed and has been tried, but did not work.  The error message in Linux Mint says a filter is missing or it says "filter error".
