Step-by-Step Solution
1. Remove Old HPLIP Cleanly
Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt-get purge hplip hplip-data hplip-gui
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip

2. Download the Latest HPLIP
Get the latest version from HP's official website:
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip
Or use terminal (example for HPLIP 3.24.4, adjust version if newer):
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/hplip/hplip/3.24.4/hplip-3.24.4.run
---
3. Give Execute Permission and Run Installer
chmod +x hplip-3.24.4.run
./hplip-3.24.4.run
> Tip: If /home has noexec, move the installer:
sudo mv ~/Downloads/hplip-3.24.4.run /opt/
cd /opt/
sudo chmod +x hplip-3.24.4.run
sudo ./hplip-3.24.4.run
