Colin, thank you very much for explaining the problem.

To the HPLIP developers at HP: Currently no user is able to install the
proprietary driver plug-in for any version of HPLIP on any distribution.
The problem is a software change which SourceForge has done on their
servers which leads to a broken HTTP header. Due to this, the urllib of
Python is not able any more to download the plugin index file
http://hplip.sf.net/plugin.conf from SourceForge (Firefox and wget still
download the file though). Please report this urgently to SourceForge
giving a reference to this bug report and Colin Watson's comment. Note
that this bug makes the plugin completely inaccessible for normal users
(who do not know its location on OpenPrinting).
