for anyone still running into this problem, i worked around it today by
getting the latest HPLIP from https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-
imaging-and-printing (i downloaded 3.17.11) and when installing it i
told it to not enable PC/network fax support (it asks near the beginning
of the install); also remember to let it uninstall your old version of
HPLIP, and allow it to install the dependencies it wants.  the setup of
the printer continued fine after that, and i now have printing and
scanning working properly on this HP M1212nf laser printer i'm testing
on a kubuntu 16.04 LTS station.  i used xsane to test the scanning
capabilities.  if you don't need PC/network fax capabilities, this
worked for me to get the rest of it working. -- yossman.net/2018-02-18
