Bug Description
I am running Fedora 28 Linux desktop edition on a Dell laptop.
I have the lastest version of HPLIP (hplip-
Using hp-setup, I find I am unable to configure my HP P1102w LaserJet printer to connect
by wireless to my (netgear MBRN3000) wireless router, unless I disable the WPA (AES) security.
When the security is disabled I can connect. I can also configure the printer to connect via USB.
I am not sure whether this should be considered a security issue. However, this possible bug may encourage some users to set up their networks without security, or encourage them to try and find workarounds that may not be secure.
I had the printer working with a wireless connection for a couple of years, with no trouble. However, when I updated to Fedora 26, I started to experience problems. The printer would connect to the wireless router only temporarily. Now I find that with Fedora 28, it will not connect at all.
I have run the script hp-check and installed various packages that were missing. However, some missing packages "do not exist" for my Linux distribution, at least in the usual repositories.
The script hp-doctor does not work at all.
After running hp-setup in a terminal I get the following output.
The installation procedure hangs right at the end, just before "finish".

Hi Dominic,
Please run "sudo hp-logcapture" command with -g option before doing hp-setup and share logs.
Also run hp-setup -g and share the output.
Thanks,
Srinivas Teja.
