In my case the problem was trying to install from a ntfs-partition. This resulted always in extractoin failure. When installing from an ext4-partition all is good.

All good. Uncompressing HPLIP 3.16.10 Self Extracting Archive 100% Extraction failed. and returns code 0. The error message `Extraction failed` is unhelpful because one doesn't know what to do next. A good error message should explain the reason for the failure and give suggestions how to overcome the reason or work around the failure. Both are crucial parts of intuitive software which can be used without unnecessary resouce waisting. Please review other error messages of this kind and improve them until the next release since they're part of stable and good software.
