Updated hplip to the new version (3.16.2) and installation finished without errors. Installed without errors the plugin, too. I noticed that the correction of this bug was in the release notes, so this new version should work for everyone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1502578 Title: HPLIP plugin installer hangs forever Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf The plugin needed for the scanner included with my HP CM1415fn MFP cannot be installed. The plugin installer hangs just after I did accept the terms and never returns. There is no difference whether that was started from hp-setup, hp-toolbox or hp-plugin. Please note, that hp-plugin must not be started as root anymore; it just prints an error message then. Aso hp-plugin-ubuntu does not work at all anymore just because of that reason. From the log below you can see that download of the plugin works OK but installation hangs forever.
