HP Laserjet P1606dn
finotti:
My HP Laserjet P1606dn was running fine until recently. After updates I need to install the plugin, but after the last it seems that I cannot do it.
The process goes smoothly, it says the update was successful, and when I click OK I get:
--- Code: ---error: Failed to install Plug-in.

So, I tried removing the printer and adding it again. Similarly, it says successful, but then it asks (in a loop) to install the plugin:

I've tried: manually downloading the plugin, removing $HOME/.hplip, purging and reinstalling hplip, but the result is always the same...
Any suggestions?
piper:
Searching this problem alone is a pita, so many problems (arch,ubuntu,etc), I am not sure where to begin, I don't own a HP printer, 4 different threads say installed 4 billion times and then it worked.
I actually can't find a good answer, and many say
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/hplip/3.18.12+dfsg0-2/
hendrikL:
did you try it as ~# root? or only as ~$ user?

tried both...
finotti:
Although I think the problem is far from resolved, I can now print.
After failing with 'hp-setup' (as seen above), I've added the printer with CUPS. For now, it seems to be printing fine. I worry about what will happen next time it asks me to install/update the plugin, but I will wait to see... I haven't tried to do anything with hplip directly for now.
I will leave this thread open for a little longer. If after a while everything continues to work, I will mark it as solved.
Thanks to all who offered help here!
