strace shows that a "sudo" child process hangs on reading fd 8, which
points to /dev/tty. Seems like an error in the code calling sudo.
Really frustrating that if calling hp-plugin interactively with sudo, it
only lectures me that I shouldn't call it with root privileges and
quits. Bummer!
So => manual install. AGAIN like in 15.04.

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.
