Hi Edward,
If I’m reading that right, you don't seem to be married to any one
distribution? Like Michele, I don’t have any issues with Debian 10 (buster)
and the software you’ve mentioned.
This works ‘out of the box:’
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MX_Linux_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In…
The MX Package Installer has a ‘one click’ HP Printing (HPLIP and printing
extras) install. [1]
My 2 cents.
Best,
Michael
Note 1: MX is init based, non-systemd (uses a systemd shim, so you will see a
dummy systemd entry in ps).
Note 2: The tde.pm attached to that page works to fully install TDE. I’m in
the middle of testing the next tde.pm release which will do a
clean ‘uninstall’ of TDE. ETA ~Feb 1.

List of what it installs:

I now have Debian 10 with Trinity installed on both of my desktops. So
far, so good. :)
For a number of years, I used Fedora exclusively, but it eventually got
to the point where it would take between 2-3 minutes just to boot-up. I
have no idea why, but although I had multiple desktops installed, I
didn't think that would have caused the slow boot-up. I actually tried
Trinity with Fedora, but had to use the Fedora 31 packages, as the
packages for 32 were not yet available at the time. It had worked fine.
I wanted to try out other distros with Trinity, to see how they all
performed and each of them booted up in a matter of seconds, including
inside a VirtualBox.
