So I had originally tried the bookworm GNOME iso with the calamares install, but it came with a LOT of extra bloaty stuff, so I tried again and did the normal tui network installer. One thing I did like though is that my printer (HP Envy 4500) worked out of the box driveless as a network printer.
I am at my wits end trying to figure it out what I need to do to get it working with starting in the netinstall. Cups was installed and it feels like everything is correct. I added system-config-printer, and that doesn't see it on the network. I tried telling it to find it but it asks for me to log in and both my user/password, user/wifi password and wifi admin user/password all don't work.
I tried hp-lip but it can't do it without a usb (it's a network printer)
I'm on Debian 12 GNOME. It literally just worked, was found, added and I was able to print instantaly from that installation media. So I know it's possible. It also just works out of the box on Fedora for whatever it's worth. But I'm several hours and have tried:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debi ... ng.en.html
https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting
https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/hp ... .1.en.html
and this thread, but it's not super relevant but it's the closest thing I could find that might be able to help:

I still cannot even get my computer to see the printer on the network. Help. Please before I have even less hair.
