Bug Description
I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 16 LTS to 18 LTS and now I can't print or scan.
I've tried re-installing the HPLIP and plug-in but the plug-in won't go in:
error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed
It IS installed though:

ii python-gobject 3.26.1-2 all Python 2.x bindings for GObject - transitional package
ii python-gobject-2 2.28.6-12ubuntu3 amd64 deprecated static Python bindings for the GObject library

If your intention is to test hplip-3.19.1, that is fine. OTOH, 18 LTS has packages.
