I tend to quit all programmes before running Software
Updater. The GUI and desktop take up a fair amount of
memory. One way to maximise your computer's resources
would be to login as text mode only - i.e. don't boot
into a GUI. It's been years since I've done that and
people are using systemd these days. When you've logged
in, run sudo apt-get hplip . You might have to get the
hpli-gui package as well.<br>

I recently installed an old HP Laserjet 2100 on a low-spec machine
with 512MB. I installed HPLIP and HPLIP-DOC from Synaptic, but not
HPLIP-GUI, which is for the QT-based GUI HP Toolbox that sits in the
systray, which I concluded I did not need. Then I just used the
Printers tool from the menu.<br>
