HPLIP

Error During Package Installation on Ubuntu 22.04

Asked by elonjan

I’m encountering an issue while trying to install a package on my Ubuntu 22.04 system. The package in question is example-package, and I’m using the following command:

sudo apt-get install example-package

E: Unable to locate package example-package

Steps I’ve already tried:

Ran sudo apt-get update to ensure my repositories are up to date.
Verified that the universe repository is enabled.
Checked my internet connection to rule out connectivity issues.
Despite these steps, the issue persists.

Could this be related to missing dependencies, or is there a problem with my package sources? I would appreciate any guidance on troubleshooting or resolving this error.

Where did you get the instruction to install "example-package"?
Its name tells, this is just a sample to show the parameters that the "apt-get install" command needs, but such package does not exist at all.

If you want to install the version of hplip from the Ubuntu repositories, then the command is

sudo apt-get install hplip hplip-gui

Can you help with this problem?
