Comment 26 for bug 1818629

Solution for #19

please run:
#hp-setup -g &> ~/hp-setup.log

after your error read the log:
#cat ~/hp-setup.log

you will find some lines like:

hp-setup[19265]: debug: Either /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hp2000S1.so file is not present or symbolic link is missing

if you run:
#locate libsane-hp2000S1

you will get the right place like:

/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.22
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.27
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpgt2500.so
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpgt2500.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hpgt2500.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hpgt2500.so.1
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.22
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpgt2500-x86_64.so.1.0.27
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpgt2500.so
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hpgt2500.so.1

now you only have to make a symbolic link:

#sudo ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
#sudo ln -s /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64/x86_64-linux-gnu

run again hp-setup
done
