\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HPLIP, HP’s inkjet and laser printers drivers for Linux, released 3.21.12 a few days ago with new Linux Distros support.<\/p>\n

The released added Fedora 35<\/b>, MX Linux 21<\/b>, and Elementary OS 6<\/b> support. Since HPLIP package in these Linux Distros’ own repositories is always old, users may now easily install the latest version via the official script by HP.<\/p>\n

And, nothing else in the release except for the new systems support.<\/p>\n
