HP printer on network (or USB) install

Did this in "BunsenLabs GNU/Linux 12 (Boron)" but should be fine with other versions. I had to search to find this, should save someone else time.

1. Install hplip package

$ sudo apt-get install hplip

2. run

$ sudo hp-setup -i

and answer the questions.

3. If you print a test page, it'll be "HPLIP Printer test page" instead of the usual "debian unix printing system" test page.
