Bug Description
The HPLIP software cannot run with python 3.x, but no check is performed in the configure script and most scripts are executed by calling the "python" command which may refer to python 3.x.
Calling the "python2" command is unambiguous and should work everywhere. The Archlinux distribution is affected by this problem.
I attached a patch with the changes I would see included.

It should really do this. 1 year later and it is still pulling python3 in archlinux.
