Sourceforge site is down for some reason and unfortunately hp-plugin utility is not able to fetch the plugin.conf from sorceforge site. /www.openprinti ng.org/ download/ printdriver/ auxfiles/ HP/plugins/ hplip-3. 15.7-plugin. run /www.openprinti ng.org/ download/ printdriver/ auxfiles/ HP/plugins/ hplip-3. 15.7-plugin. run.asc
Can you directly download the plugin files from here:

To install the plugin file you can run command 'sh hplip-3. 15.7-plugin. run' in terminal or you can run command 'hp-plugin' in terminal and choose the second option to manually select the hplip-3. 15.7-plugin. run file and install.
Run command 'hp-setup' to configure the print queue.
