How to Install HPLIP 3.21.2 in Ubuntu:
1. To install the software, download the package “hplip-3.21.2.run” from the link below:
2. Then open terminal either via Ctrl+Alt+T or by searching for “terminal” from app launcher. When it opens, run command to give executable permission:
chmod +x ~/Downloads/hplip-3.21.2.run
3. Finally run command to start installing the driver:
./Downloads/hplip-3.21.2.run
Follow the terminal output and answer the questions. If everything goes OK, plug or re-plug your HP devices and enjoy!
Due to Pyqt5 dependency issue, the package does not install in Ubuntu 20.04.
As a workaround, choose “custom” as the installation mode, answer “no” to disable ‘Graphical User Interfaces (Qt5)’, and say “no” when installing the python-reportlab package.
