Thanks for your replies.
My model is this one:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/details/hp-laserjet-pro-mfp-m130-ser...
In support and drivers it makes me go here at the end:
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices...
where for my printer I find:
Model name min hplip version chrome os
support
HP LaserJet Pro MFP m130fw 3.16.11 Yes
driver plug-in Support level print mode scan to pc pc send fax
connectivity
No Full Mono Yes
Yes USB,Network
I'm trying to see then what the hoto here suggests
If your model supports network access, check for Apple AirPrint.
Currently, Airprint is
essentially the same as IPP (Apple could change IPP support anytime, but
if you have
IPP working on non-Apple devices.you may not be affected until you install
some HP
update to your printer to support the new AirPrint).
With IPP you should install legacy CUPS PPD's as IPP provides the
information that
used to come in PPD's directly from the printer.
