The hplip 3.15.9 installation hangs after put superuser password

Asked by carlos

Hi, I'm having a problem during installation of hplip-3.15.9 in Fedora 22(64bits). Well, I downloaded the hplip-3.15.9.run and i followed the installation instructions of the site, but, after put the password, the installation hangs. The only thing that appears are some bars (something like "loading bars") bellow the message: Please enter the root/superuser password: .

Sorry for my English.

This is my terminal during installation.
