Hi Srinivas,
HPLIP 3.12.11 package's (/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py) file doesn't
contains "elif utils.which('/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu'):"
statement.
Please let us know, is it downloaded from "http://hplipopensource.com
/hplip-web/index.html" site or HPLIP installed from repository?
You can quick fix it by making followng changes?
1) open /usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py file in root mode.
--> search for "utils." and remove this "utils." occurrences from this file.
2) Now run plugin command in root mode (su or sudo)
$ sudo hp-plugin or su - -c "hp-plugin"
(or)
You can install hplip-3.12.11 from
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html site.
Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Title:
Automatic plug-in installation not working under Ubuntu
Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
Invalid
Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “policykit” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have packaged HPLIP 3.11.12 for Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and I have
also backported this package to Oneiric (11.10, package in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa).
With the binary package hplip-gui and all its dependencies installed
the plug-in should be downloaded and installed automatically if a
printer gets connected which requires the plug-in, via the newly added
feature of HPLIP 3.11.12.
It seems that when hp-systray calls hp-plugin, hp-plugin gets run as
normal user (not as root) and then it is not able to install the files
of the plug-in in subdirectories of /usr/share/hplip and /etc where
only root has write access.
What needs to be done here is to use PolicyKit or tools like gksudo.
Is such a thing actually used?
