[WaltSullivan]

Ubuntu 16.04, hplip 3.16.3+repack0-1

$ hp-testpage
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-testpage", line 37, in <module>
    from base import device, utils, tui, module
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/device.py", line 38, in <module>
    from . import utils
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 110, in <module>
    pexpect.EOF, # 0

Because,

$ ll -d /usr/share/hplip/base/pexpect/
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Nov 15 22:40 /usr/share/hplip/base/pexpect/

# chmod 755 /usr/share/hplip/base/pexpect/

fixes the problem.
