This comman will reinstall /etc/hp/hplip.conf:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" libsane-hpaio

No idea why it has been placed in another package, found the solution here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=904070

Ran into the same problem in a freshly installed 18.04.2, hplip 3.17.10.
Solution mentioned at #1 worked for me...
Thanks Anatoly!

Ubuntu 20.04.1 up to date on 29/9/2020 with kernel 5.4.0-48-generic

Solution #1 did also the trick for me made both toolbox run again and
recognize the scanner on HP Colorjet MFP M181fw

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Maxim Egorushkin (max0x7ba)]

This problem still exists on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. All packages are up-to-date.

[Frederic FERNEZ (f5nkj)]

Still have the problem with:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
kernel Linux 6.8.0-36-generic
HPLIP 3.24.4
HP Device Manager ver. 15.0

Anyone who got it working on this configuration ?
