When you all get the hang, I get a pop-up asking me for user name and password with my user name pre-filled I enter the password then and the installation finishes successfully.
As I am the only user on my laptop, the account is the privileged account which can execute command as root using "sudo". Perhaps running as unprivileged user the process simply hangs (instead of giving an error telling that the current user is not allowed to do root tasks).
Ubuntu users, please log in as the first (admin/privileged) user and run
hp-plugin
If this does not work, try
sudo hp-plugin
Please tell whether one of these suggestions make the installation working.
