research what a PPD is. regarding linux printing
might be a print daemon service that must be running

Option B: Manually Download PPD from HPLIP Website
Go to: https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing
Click “Supported Devices”
Find your HP printer in the list.
Click the model to see driver info — if it uses a PPD, it may be downloadable or part of a .ppd.gz file.
💻 Method 2: On Linux (CUPS-based systems)
If your system uses CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), it might already have the PPD files.
Steps:
Look in the directory:
/etc/cups/ppd/
Or generate one using CUPS Web Interface:
Go to http://localhost:631 in your browser.
Add or manage printers.
After adding a printer, CUPS stores the PPD file in /etc/cups/ppd/.
so suppose to be in hplip. did apt remove. so downloaded the hplip linked from HP site. so ran it and now another probem. https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip

k

also I'd imagine a driver would need sudo infront of all that sh .run line
warm plume
still working on it, LOL making me jump through hoops.

right so make a note of each dep and manually install them first
warm plume
got some installed, the rest is unable to locate package
warm plume
did that when i started
I can see the printer and HPlip - gui sees it and points to the pdd file, but when I go in that location, the file is not there
proper geyser
then do `sudo apt search cups-devel`
does this find a result, first off?
warm plume
no, just blank
proper geyser
apt search python3-pyqt*
