error: A required dependency 'pyqt5 (PyQt 5- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))' is still missing.

Hi ,

Could you please try installing hplip-3.20.6.run ?
It should install python-PyQt5 package in ubuntu 20.04.

Hi hub18,

you can try hplip packaged by your OS distro - if your device was supported by older versions, new version usually doesn't bring much new to your device.

Or, depending whether your device supports it, try driverless printing (https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting#Creating_a_Driverless_Print_Queue_with_lpadmin_.28Short_Version.29) and driverless scanning (sane-airscan).
