John,
Postfix is required for LSB, and LSB is required for HPLIP. Postfix will
not effect Thunderbird in any way.
To remove hplip and start over:
cd hplip-1.7.2
sudo make uninstall
sudo make clean
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
then to re-run the installer:
./install.py
If the automatic installer is giving you problems you can the manual
install:

I'm totally lost! I need a driver for an HP 990cxi printer. I am both
old and quite unused to working with the terminal. I downloaded the
self-extracting driver program hplip-1.7.2.run successfully, and started
the installation process. I was asked questions that meant nothing to
me. (I had never heard of Postfix before! Later I discovered that it has
to do with mail. I don't understand what that has to do with the
printer, and discovered that the definitive work on that subject runs to
300 pages. Beyond me, I'm sure.)
The program hung, at the point of looking for dependencies and
conflicts. (I waited for at least an hour.) I tried to reconfigure
Postfix, but the shell didn't recognize the command line (dpkg
--reconfigure Postfix) that I had carefully written down during the
installation process. The new driver seems not to have been installed
(the printer still runs very slowly, as compared with what it used to do
in Windows and in SUSE 10.0).
Is my mail (Thunderbird) 'broken' as the installation program warned me?
Is there any way of backing out of this situation short of re-installing
Ubuntu -- and putting up with a slow printer?
Sorry to bother you,
John R. Ward
