hplip and hplip-gui are in the repos. You should be able to find it in Software Manager and install from there. I've tried the .run file from HP and it works, but the repo version is simply easier.
Regardless of the source, you will want to run hp-check after the install. It will list any unmet or missed files. Those can be installed manually. I've done it a dozen times, and usually install within a terminal using
Code:
sudo apt install <whatever file name shows up from hp-check>
Hp-check returned so many missing, incompatible errors in red ink, I hope you will forgive me for pasting them here.
Would it be easier to uninstall HPLIP, and reinstall? Windows speaking through me again.
