I did buy an HP Color Laser printer 150a to print some booklets under Debian Linux.
I use a live version of Linux (of course without build in driver for the new HP; since yet, I did use a Brother-Laserprinter HL2035 simply using the small ppd file (Brother-HL-2035-hl1250.ppd) on fly in cups.
But I did until yet no find some adequate some ppd file for the new HP Color Laser 150a!
So I will have no chance and will be forced to reconnect the old Brother as the new HP is too limited in scope of possibilities of use!
I did only find some HP package really more complicated to install (I did try it in one full installation of Deepin 2.0 (it is also a Debian: Deepin did change in release 2.n from Ubuntu to Debian); after installation in Deepin, I did no find some way to change the size of output of, for example, pictures. They came half, and in some position I absolutely not want on the paper sheet (in full size of sheet, they are beautyfull!).
The next problem, is I don't find some active command to print both sides of each paper sheet (as that is an important condition to print out booklets. On the laser of Brother, it is only an x at the right place in cups and the old laser do that himself.
One one new challenge for me (I did wait for that, that the new printer arrives!) is that I will also print out books, booklets ( https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_make_a_webbook.asp ). I can not appreciate now, as I am not happy at all with my new hp colorlaser, if it will be possible. I would be very glad do receive here recommendations from experimented people!
