Any idea how to workaround it?
I have tried to uninstall hplip but it is not enough.

[Youssef Amin (youssefamin)]

Hey Johann
Do this

cd /usr/share/hplip
sudo python3 uninstall.py

Worked like a charm..... then upgrade python. All worked fine!!

Cheers!!

[Johann Tuffe (tafia)]

Thanks, running the uninstall script indeed worked.

[iRicardo Castanho de Oliveira Freitas (ricardo-cofreitas)]

The uninstall procedure did NOT work to me!

Hope to find a good way out!

Thanks for the help so far!

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Removing the regression-update tag. This is certainly not a regression introduced in the update of the python3-defaults package, and there have been similar reports against the version of python3-defaults in the bionic release pocket. The bug is triggered by the configuration of python3-defaults, but that is probably not where the bug lies.

For the users who are seeing this bug: what is the output of 'dpkg -l hplip-data' on these systems?

[Dimitri Clicque (shinobix9x)]

after i did
sudo apt-get install --reinstall hplip hplip-data
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3

now it seems solved, i don't have the error anymore

[uoklrigas (gmklrigas)]

 I remove the file HPLIP from usr/share/ (sudo rm -r /usr/share/hplip) and
re-install (sh hplip-3.18.6.run)
now it seems OK

/usr/share/hplip is a directory that is managed by the hplip-data package in Ubuntu. If you have installed an upstream version of hplip from source on top of the package, we cannot guarantee this will work; and this probably entirely explains the upgrade failure of python3.

Why have you installed hplip from source on top of Ubuntu? Is there some howto on the Internet that suggests this is a reasonable thing to do?

[moma (osmoma)]

Hello,
I got the same Python3 upgrade error.

Prior that, I had installed the very latest hplip-3.18.6 from a .run file.
I did also install the hplip-3.18.6-plugin.run file.

Reason for this is another bug in the hplip package.
Please see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1714659

The default hplip does not work in Ubuntu 18.04 with the GNOME-desktop
environment.
For example the "simple-scan" application did not start becuse of the
systray error in hplip.

I tried to alleviate this (systray + app exit) error by installing the
hplip from source.
It did not help, but I finally managed to disable the hplip`s use of
systray.

Ok, I'm not sure why you should need to install the hplip-gui package - it's in universe and not part of the standard Ubuntu printing stack - or why having it installed would cause issues for simple-scan. But in any case, installing this over the contents of /usr/share/hplip is invalid. Closing this bug as such.

[Viktor Nenadić (viktor.nenadic)]

I did like Dimitri wrote

sudo apt-get install --reinstall hplip hplip-data
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3

and that seems to solve my problem.

>> Ubuntu printing stack - or why having it installed would cause issues
for simple-scan.
Well, simple-scan does not detect any scanners because HPLIP crashes due to
its incompatibility with the GNOME-desktop (its systray).

simple-scan is dependent on the printer/scanner drivers.

That is why.

Dimitri's workaround has worked for me too but the systray msg continues.

Python3 was correctly configured.

Thanks

[florin (florin-arjocu)]

Worked also on Ubuntu 18.10.

To reply to @Steve Langasek (@vorlon) - Why do we need to install the HPLIP from HP? In my case, I could not select if to print in color or black&white or grayscale, this option was simply missing for some reason.

[chris (chris.rutten)]

as per request this is my output for
