I was able to duplicate this bug on Ubuntu 18.14 while installing HPLIP for Laserjet Pro MFP M125mW During the scanner plugin install I get the same error. When I installed separately the sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module Then i got the following error HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.18.12) Plugin Installer ver. 3.0 Copyright (c) 2001-15 HP Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details. Plug-in version: 3.18.12 Installed HPLIP version: 3.18.12 Number of files to install: 55 Plugin installation failed error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed error: Plug-in install failed. There is a very simple workaround to fix this. Just go to HP website directly and download your hplip plugin. In my case it was hplip-3.18.12-plugin.run HP website address is https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins Download the plugin to Documents folder Then open terminal, go to Documents folder and install the plugin with command sh hplip-3.18.12-plugin.run and follow instructions on the screen. This should fix your HP Scanner problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430561 Title: hp-plugin crashes with error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1430561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
