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 ---------------------- HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.18.4) System Tray Status Service ver. 2.0 Copyright (c) 2001-15 HP Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Intel i5-2520m 2.5GHz 64-bit CPU, 8GiB RAM, 298GiB hard drive, DVD writer, Ethernet and WiFi connections. Attached my LaserJet, Ubuntu ran some software to install the printer (probably trying to run the HP software) and /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups crashed with the assertion failure: free(): invalid pointer. Rebooted, installed package hplip-gui, ran sudo hp-setup – it needed to ask me (the user) some questions. That kept it happy and it ran successfully. I ended up with two similarly named HP Printers. Printed to the right one and it worked. Renamed the other one to avoid confusion whilst printing.
