Sourceforge hp-plugin website has been down for some time. So, to install the plug-in manually, download the plugin and the signature to the same directory as follows:

wget https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run|hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run

wget https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run.asc|hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run.asc

Make sure both of the files are executable by the system once you got them downloaded as follows:

sudo chmod 750 hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run
sudo chmod 750 hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run.asc

After that, run the plug-in installer script as follows:

sudo sh hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run

That should take care of the issue.

Happy Hacking folks!
