I took a look at hplip-3.20.6.run. It's one of these self-extractors
made using Makeself: a shell script followed by a tarfile (in binary
form).

It looks like the shell script just runs hplip-install after
extracting the tarfile. As a starting point, I would run
hplip-3.20.6.run, let it unpack the tarfile, overwrite the
config.guess and .sub it created in the target directory it creates,
and then run hplip-install by hand.

You might also like to report this problem to the hplip maintianers so
that they may update the versions of config.guess/sub they ship.

Cheers,
Ben

Installation of printer driver for HP smarttank 570 (hplip-3.20.5.run/hplip-3.20.6.run)

[jaqu2030_pm]

Hi,
I have a Raspberrypi 4B with 2 GB and installed Ubuntu server 20.04 and ubuntu 
Mate desktop 1.24.0. Swap-file is 2GB as well. See attached copy of stdout in 
terminal window(200729_cli_stdout.

I Try to install driver for HP Smarttank 570. Problem with config.guess and 
config.sub files from 2011-05-xx. New downloaded files timestamped 2020-07-12 & 
2020-07-10 are overwritten in ./ directory during startup of the script 
(hplip-3.20.5.run / hplip-3.20.6.run). See attached downloaded files from 
"https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/; and terminal 
stdout(200729_cli_stdout).

The question is may be only where to include the downloaded files timestamped 
2020-07-12 & 2020-07-10 (config.guess & config.sub) ?? The config.guess and 
config.sub files from 2011-05-xx are obviously copied into current dir (./) 
from somewhere when executing hplip-3.20.5.run/hplip-3.20.6.run... As you see, 
I have included the downloaded files in the ./ directory and they where 
overwritten by the config files timestamped with 2011-05-xx (config.guess & 
config.sub).

Looking forward to rapid solution/work around.

Best regards
Jan Hallquist (Norway)
