Re: HP deskjet 2633
it's odd that your Epson didn't work out, as they are usually okay with Linux Systems.
but that HP should be what's called an "out-of-the-box" experience, for you,
ie: it should be a 'plug & play' experience, where you just plug the usb cable in,
and the LinuxMint should Auto-detect it, so you can then just click next-next to install it.

HP deskjet 2633 so new is not in supported printers list
I would just be a wee bit wary there; if one looks on the HP website, for which of its printers are supported; https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imag ... ices/index
.... that 2633 is not listed; I can't quote chapter & verse; but on a recent post, someone was tripped up by their new HP not working: they replaced it with a new but older model; that was listed as supported; and all was good ..
the above list is interestingly sorted by which models are supported by the latest version of the hplip software; so the latest supported are at the top of the list ..
.. maybe just find a model in a similar price bracket to the 2633; that is on the current list??
(Another issue with HP is that to install the latest version of hplip; over the top of what is in the Mint repositories; can cause scanner problems; karlchen has documented this; one needs to purge hplip and some other files)
