(Get the code!)
I am having the same problem with hplip on Wily Werewolf. I have tried installing hplip 3.15.11 and 3.15.6 instead of the default 3.15.7 but in both cases installation gets stuck after accepting license term. The only solution that worked for me was the workaround first suggested by Ilya Barygin here.
I have some additional comments that I have not see anyone else here mention:
1) when I run hp-check, it says, among other things:
warning: ubuntu-15.10 version is not supported. Using ubuntu-15.04 versions dependencies to verify and install...
2) After installing a number of earlier versions of ubuntu & hplip combo, including this one, I have *always* had to fix protection problems:
chmod go-w ~/.hplip/hplip.conf
chmod go= ~/.hplip/.gnupg/
sudo chmod +r /etc/cups/
Especially the wrong protection of the .gnupg directory is pretty unforgivable in my book. The .ppd file protection fix was needed because some (but not all) applications failed to print.
