Comment 3 for bug 1893979

I am still trying to get hplip working on armv6. I reverted back to 3.18.6, it should be the last available version that does not require libImageProcessor.so.
The plug-in installation for hplip 3.18.6 fails and gives:

Downloading plug-in: [\ ] 0% Traceback (most recent call last):

I still hope that you will give some advice and support. Thanks.
