How to Install HPLIP 3.20.5 in Ubuntu:

Due to requirement of old legacy python 2 libraries, HPLIP 3.20.5 does not install on Ubuntu 20.04.

1. To install the software, download the package “hplip-3.20.5.run” from the link below:

HPLIP Download Page

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-3.20.5.run

3. Finally run command to start installing the driver:

./Downloads/hplip-3.20.5.run

Follow the terminal output and answer some questions. If everything goes OK, plug or re-plug your HP devices and enjoy!

        hplip so far requires old python2 libraries which have been dropped in Ubuntu 20.04.

          I switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu. Ubuntu is new for me. I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and HPLIP 3.20.5 to connect my HP Business InkJet 1200D. Firmware of Printer has latest release but it does not start printing. Printer picks the sheet and then all ink lights of all cartriges start blinking. It prints fine in windows 7 and xp. All ink levels show good in status window in win xp. even replaced cartriges, Still not printing in Ubuntu. Tried the same with Ubuntu 18.04. same issue. Any ideas will be appreciated.

      I am a Linux newbie.

      After a lot of time researching Linux distros I finally switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 20.04.03.

      I am disappointed that I cannot print or scan on my HP Deskjet 2700 printer. Ubuntu printers app does recognize the said printer but does not print or show any error message.

      Any volunteers to help out? Thank you.
