Thanks a lot, I even didn't know if the driver was installed, I am using Sumsung M2020.

There is a small error on line 43.
sudo cupaccept HP_PSC_1510 is incorrect.
It should read:
sudo cupsaccept HP_PSC_1510

Thank you @shwaybotx. It's fixed now

Wow, that was quick! Thanks Edoardo. I was following it step by step and encountered an error. When I looked it over I saw the mistake. A very helpful guide, btw.
