HP Recommended
Product: HP 107a
Operating System: Ubuntu LTS

When I received the printed, I tried following the tutorial Linux guide. So, I downloaded the uld driver from the hp site (at that point I found out that HP Laser 107a was basically a rebranded Samsung printer which used the uld driver). When I connected the printer to the laptop, although the printer was recognized I was unable to print. Initially, the "Printing Options" dialog was empty and upon closer inspection I realized that there was no PPD.

Then I came across the following ask ubuntu question which addresses 18.04 LTS and 19.04. I followed as closely as possible the instructions and I managed to select the proper driver (HP Laser 10x Series), either by selecting the database (initially), or by locating the PPD file in the /opt/ folder. In either case the result was the same:

 

  • I managed to get the Printer Options filed
  • I was not able to print. Whenever I sent something to the printer, I got the message that the job was submitted and the completed.

Here's how I got my HP Laser 107a to work on my freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04.
