I am having the issue on Ubuntu 18.04. Thanks Jevgenijs your suggested solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1430561/comments/27
partly worked for me. I was able to install the plugin without any errors. But when I try to set up my printer (Laserjet M1212nf MFP) it get the following error:

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.18.12)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

error: The device you are trying to setup requires a binary plug-in. Some functionalities may not work as expected without plug-ins. Please run 'hp-plugin' as normal user to install plug-ins. Visit http://hplipopensource.com for more infomation.

So even if I am able able to install the plugin it somehow is not recognized by the hp-setup and I am still stuck and not able to print/scan/fax.

So do you maybe have any suggestion how to get this solved?

Thanks a lot!
