How to get the HP OfficeJet 3833 to work on Fedora 33

The usual screenshots are missing I am sorry for that! Anyways here we go 🙂

First make sure Fedora is updated, you this by typing:

sudo dnf upgrade

After Fedora is updated type the following:

sudo dnf install hplip hplip-gui

There is no need to set up the HP OfficeJet 3833 any further, it will work immediately if you connect it with an USB AB cable to your laptop.

For scanning you do need to install additional software. Below are the instructions for installing the scanning software:

su
dnf install simple-scan

The printer’s user manual can be found here.

How to get the HP OfficeJet 3833 to work on Fedora

A short and quick tutorial, just for me. You don’t like it? Feel free to FUCK OFF

sudo dnf -y install hplip-gui-3.18.12-9.fc29.x86_64

Before setting up the printer through “HPLIP Graphical Tools” make sure the printer and laptop are connected with a “USB AB cable” 🙄 I cannot use the printer over wireless, cable will have to do. Which btw, is perfectly fine for me.

Scanner has to be set up outside “HPLIP Graphical Tools” .

Simple Scan is the way to go (Xsane looks and behaves like shit 😡 )

su
dnf install simple-scan
