After fiddling for a good hour, I realized that the utility was failing to load the python modules for hplip: #### $ gksu hp-plugin [ ... ] Uncompressing HPLIP 3.15.2 Plugin Self Extracting Archive............................... Error importing HPLIP modules. Is HPLIP installed? #### I changed to /usr/bin, and noticed that python was a symlink to python2.7; I temporarily made it be a symlink to python3.4, and I managed to install the proprietary plugin for my printer. However, other software would crash, so I reverted to have the symlink pointing to the old python2.7 location.
