   agreed. As that solved nothing, I purged them

  Actually, I am on buster: cat /etc/debian_version ==> 10.0
  I installed the correxponding version of hplip, which is now
     3.18.12+dfsg0-2
  but
    hp-plugin -i -p hplip-3.18.12-plugin.run
  still gives:
    error: Unable to open /data/home/frenkiel/.hplip/hp-plugin.lock lock file.
