Could not understand how to implement the workaround suggested by Alterbo Donato #4. I would appreciate if you could clarify.
But uninstalling the package available at Ubuntu 22.04 repository and installing the package downloaded from HP Developers (https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip) worked fine for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992187 Title: hplip not working after install in 22.04, python error Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: after upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.1 (not a new installation): new installation of hplip >sudo apt install hplip hplip-gui Install completes without error.

Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP. 2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run. 3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies). Check types: a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time) c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies d.
