These links made me wonder: my HP colour printer has both Ethernet and
wireless and is connected directly to the Router. If the sending
machine is also connected by wifi/ethernet _as well_, will I get a
faster transfer of data when printing ? Or will the fast connection
take priority (GB Ethernet)? I assume the later?
See you Tuesday evening all being well. Stay safe.

I have (perhaps unwisely) bought a Hewlett multifunction printer

At present it's a nice stand-alone photocopier, but that's the least
useful part !
HP's documenation is very bare, but says that while I can print from
Linux once it's connected, to set up the connection I need to be using
one of a number of systems of which Android is one. I have an Android
mobile and have installed HP's app, but I'm blowed if I can find the
tool or instructions that I need.
I am trying to get some help from the 'HP user community' but thought I
should try the Linux community as well. I have been very quiet on this
group for many years !
Best wishes,
