hp-setup fails with ImportError

[tommi.lantta@kolumbus.fi]

I get the following error trying to install a printer with hp-setup:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/hp-setup", line 45, in <module>
   from base import device, utils, tui, models, module
 File "/usr/share/hplip/base/device.py", line 39, in <module>
   import status
 File "/usr/share/hplip/base/status.py", line 59, in <module>
   import hpmudext
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hpmudext.so: undefined symbol: hpmud_make_par_uri

Running hp-check --fix reports one error:

error: NOT FOUND OR FAILED TO LOAD! Please reinstall HPLIP and check for the proper installation of hpmudext.
error: hpmudext      IO-Extension              REQUIRED        -               3.12.6         MISSING    'Not Found or Failed to load, Please reinstall HPLIP'

and then tries to install package hpmudext, which doesn't exist.

This is probably due to trying to install a newer version directly from HP. I found some related files that shouldn't be there with cruft, but removing those didn't help.

Purging and reinstalling hplip and libhpmud0 didn't help either. 

What to try next?
