I'd just add that my Brother WiFi printer/scanner works just as well (using the manufacturer's driver blob which is essentially just a CUPS installation script), so no need to take up a USB port or add a network card. No doubt HP ones would also be fine.
More words of support for the Brother printers, I am using DCP- L2550DW.
I am still using the install tool from Brother but I did just confirm that "brlaser" has now been fully added to Fedora.
You would do: sudo dnf install printer-driver-brlaser.x86_64
I then found it via the cups interface at: http://localhost:631
This worked well with the printer setup with wifi on the network and no USB hooked up. I was testing it on a vanilla XFCE F36 virtualbox host.
Note that scanning needed the extra steps of: sudo dnf install xsane sane-airscan
Excellent, thanks. I see that mine is one of the supported devices. I look forward to trying it out.
I installed and configured the driver as a dnssd service (using the KDE system settings panel), but I'm getting an error: "Unable to locate printer".
The dnssd daemon is running, as is systemd-resolved and avahi-daemon. I've logged out and in again to no effect.
Journalctl shows nothing relevant (using "-g dnssd" or "-g dns-sd").
