Denys, the info at the link you provide seems to relate more to running
the gui hp-setup; or am I missing something?

This bug affects me as "something" - cups?  I dunno - is running hp-
setup automagically and behind the scenes.

I have tried running hp-setup -i from the command line.  When I use it
to attempt to install my laserjet P1102w, I get as far as starting the
download for the plugin, and then this happens:

    Creating directory plugin_tmp
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.
    Uncompressing HPLIP 3.15.2 Plugin Self Extracting 
Archive...............................
    Error importing HPLIP modules.  Is HPLIP installed?
    error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed

Done.

The same thing appears to happen when I try to install my other
laserjet, an M1212nf_MFP.

I have looked for the string error: Python gobject/dbus may be not
installed on Google.  It seems that this may arise when Python 3 is the
default, but running python -V from the command line tells me that the
default on my system is 2.7.9.

This link https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600360
suggests that I may be missing package python-gobject.

Looking in Synaptic, I see I have both python-gobject and python-
gobject2 installed.

Is it possible that somehow the new Python3 gobject is interfering with
hp-setup?  I don't feel great about the idea of removing python-gobject
to find out...

Willing to experiment here if anyone has any ideas... and as Shahar Or
mentions, there is no printing happening here at this time...
