I bought HP Laser MFP 135a black and white scanner/printer. I am new in Ubuntu and I use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I tried to open localhost:631 by installing CUPS in Terminal as seeing in one youtube video but no suceed. I do not know much to do. I use printer/scanner via USB. Could someone be kind and help me to set to work both scanner and printer.

:~$ lsusb -t

    Does this answer your question? [How to install HPLIP on my Ubuntu to support my HP printer and/or scanner?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1137815/how-to-install-hplip-on-my-ubuntu-to-support-my-hp-printer-and-or-scanner) - use `sudo apt-get install hplip hplip-gui`, then `hp-setup` followed by `hp-plugin` . – N0rbert Jun 25 '20 at 15:58
  • The USB cable maybe faulty. Please replug it and show the output of `lsusb -t` - add it to the question. – N0rbert Jun 25 '20 at 16:41

    Please don't put the terminal output in the comments. It is best to put all additional information directly into the question using the [edit question link above](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1253725/edit). When you copy and paste any output from the terminal into your question please format them as `code` using the { } icon above the **Edit Question** window. – user68186 Jun 25 '20 at 19:09
  • does the scanner/printer state that is supported on linux? Try doing the following: -Open Settings -Go to printer and press add The printer should be detected. Try using chrrome to print or libre office. Also do you have scanner software installed? – Joshua May Jun 25 '20 at 16:10
