when i try to print something out it just keeps stopping
Hi
Welcome to the Fedora Community.
Are you using a HP printer?

hello! yes i am : ) the printer is hp laser jet p1102w
sudo dnf install hplip-gui
- start hplip-gui
- Select the communications port (USB I suppose)
- Let the tool detect your printer
- It will want to download firmware (be prepared to provide administrator’s login – that is username=
root, password=<put your root password here>) - Now the printer will be listed on HPLIP user interface
Try printing again (make sure you select the newly installed printer)

You are missing essential repositories, i.e. fedora and updates.
How did this happen?

Honestly i have absolutely no clue. Once fedora 32 came out, I updated it to the new patch, but sudo dnf upate would not work. Sorry i am still new to fedora. how can i fix the error? can i reinstall fedora 32?
Re-installation is not necessary.
What’s the output of the following command?
ls -goh /etc/yum.repos.d/

That was from your listing, right? I see those repos there.
try:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
then try installing hplip-gui (eg. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-wont-print-but-shows-processing/64346/4?u=twohot)
