I want to connect HP LaserJet Professional m1132 MFP printer, but fail. And I find model shows "HP LaserJet Professional m1132 MFP, hpcups 3.14.3, requires proprietary plugin". what is the meaning of "requires proprietary plugin", it means I need install manually the hp plugin at this docker? or I need install hp plugin on my mac that connect to CUPS server? or others? Thanks.
