Hello,
Installation from ‘hplip-3.25.2.run’ went without problems, but I got an error during plugin installation. Consequently a printer doesn’t work in my Ubuntu 24.04.2

/.hplip/hplip-3.25.2-plugin.run file does not match its checksum. File may have been corrupted or altered

  Im getting this error too… It looks like HP doesnt have the file up or something… Quite annoying actually.
  
  Time for a different printer I think

  The issue could be that the file you downloaded is broken. Did you try to re-download the file, e.g., from another mirror.

      Once you click download the package in the sourceforge.net, it redirect to a page that includes a “Problems Downloading” button. By clicking on that button, it shows menu to choose different mirror.

        I used several different mirror and continue the same problem, unable to install hplip-plugin-3.25.2
        I noticed that when downloading, the default version is 3.25.2. However, the certificate is version 3.24 from the HPLIP download website bottom.

HP printers are the best option with Linux, especially for scanners, which other printers don’e easily support.

The required plugin and signature files

hplip-3.25.2-plugin.run 2025-03-31 11:05 11M
hplip-3.25.2-plugin.run.asc 2025-03-31 11:05 195

are available at

https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/

To download, right click on file within browser and select save as, using the names on the website.

Then open the Downloads folder using the file viewer,
right click within the file manager window showing the contents of Downloads
select the Open in Terminal option, and a terminal should open within the Downloads folder.

Then, within the terminal type up to # as indicated below,
(ignore blanks immediately before # and all after as explanatory comments)

chmod +x hplip-3.25.2-plugin.run # make the run file executable to install

./hplip-3.25.2-plugin.run # to install it

Done… do not type this or following lines.

It should work, despite warnings, which you can ignore,
and it could help to restart, the computer.
