Hi srinivas,,

Did a complete re-install of Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit.

Followed your instructions.

It appears that Ubuntu 18.04 does not have a system tray. Whilst running
"hplip-3.18.4.run" I encountered these error messages:-

RE-STARTING HP_SYSTRAY

error: Unable to lock /home/ian/.hplip/hp-systray.lock. Is hp-systray
already running?
ian@newton:~/Desktop$ error: No system tray detected on this system.
Unable to start, exiting.

Printing works. Scanning fails with an error message - see attached
screenshot.

HTH,

Ian
