Problems with plug-in installation are always the responsibility of
upstream and we will not deal with them, except to help with advice
on workarounds.

Never seen this before. The package has all the needed PPDs.

The Debian and Ubuntu packages are (given an inconsequential Ubuntu tweak
or two) identical. See the changelogs. I do not know where that leaves us.
Upstream is at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/
Please inform us of the URL of your post if you contact them.
I'd purge and delete everything hplip related and try again from a
terminal. Not having the printer makes testing impossible for us.

Brian.
