Possible problem could be that www.openprinting.org appears to be unavailable.

Hi Jim,

hp-plugin command tries to download the plugin binary from www.openprinting.org and this server is down so after some retries downloads from "http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/plugin/hplip-3.13.10-plugin.run". Please follow below steps.

 $ sudo hp-plugin -g
--> wait for some time to try 1st from www.openprinting.org (it fails) and later downloads from hplipopensource.com.

(or)

$ wget http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/plugin/hplip-3.13.10-plugin.run
--> downloads plugin to local system

$ sudo hp-plugin -g
--> select 2nd option to use local downloaded file.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
