Problem installing hplip-3.16.2.run

I have no clue from your answer as to what all this means.
How do I fix the problem - I am a 82 year old Senior who relies on your
software. Please advise in plain language what I must do to rectify my
problem.

What model is your printer? How do you connect the printer to your computer? (USB cable, wireless, a network printer, ...)

 Feb 14 2016 8.02 am Ran HP Device Manager – No Installed HP Devices Found.

1. Ran hp-setup in terminal

Searching... (bus=net, timeout=5, ttl=4, search=(None) desc=0, method=slp)
*error: No devices found on bus: net*

*MY* *COMMENT**: Question: I have no need for network communication. Is
this really necessary? **It has never been a problem since I began using
ubuntu **many **years ago. **So why now?*

"Searching... (bus=usb, search=(None), desc=0)
error: No devices found on bus: usb"

The installer apparently was not able to detect the printer.

Try the following:

Switch on the printer, connect it to your computer with the USB cable, open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue the commands

groups
lsusb

What output do you get?

bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ groups
bumpy adm lp cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
bumpy@bumpyputer:~$

Sorry: The previous post was incorrect. This is the correct answer:

bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ groups
bumpy adm lp cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ lsusb

I cannot see the HP printer in the lsusb output (I would have guessed it would show with an ID of 03f0:something).

Are you sure that the printer is plugged in and powered on?
Can you try connecting the printer directly to a port of your computer, and not over a hub, or over a hub if you have connected it directly?
Can you try all available USB ports?
Can you check whether the cable is ok, any try with another cable?

As long as the printer is not shown by the lsusb command, the HP installer cannot access it.

Thanks for your reply. Forgive my ignorance, but I have a few questions for
you.
What is an ID of 03f0?
How do I "connect the printer directly to a port of my computer"?
What is a "hub"?
Where would I find "all available USB ports?"
How do I determine if "lsusb is present on my system"?
The printer is definitely powered on.
I really do not understand why I have never had any problem previous
to hplip-3.16.2.
Nothing has changed.

Re: What is an ID of 03f0?

Each device that can be connected to USB identifies itself with a device ID, specific to a vendor and device type.
E.g. in your lsusb output from above:

ID 046d:c318 Logitech, Inc. Illuminated Keyboard

the first part (vendor ID) is 046d (for Logitech Inc.), and the second part (device ID) is c318 (for a certain type of Logitech keyboards).

If your computer correctly identifies the HP printer, then there should be a line in the "lsusb" output with vendor id 03f0 (For HP) and a device ID that I do not know yet.

Re: How do I "connect the printer directly to a port of my computer"?

Is the system that you have a laptop or a desktop computer?
How many USB sockets do you have?
What have you already plugged into these sockets? (Apparently at least your keyboard, an external had disk, ...)

Re: What is a "hub"?

Your "lsusb" output shows also a "port multiplier" or "hub", this is a small device that plugs into one USB port, and has four ports where you can plug in other USB devices.

How is your printer connected to your computer?

Where does this information come from?

Are you using some kind of USB-to-serial adapter cable for the printer?

NO! But I made another Royal goof.The usb cable from the printer was
connected tp my Linksys 5-port 10/100 Workgroup switcher!!!!!They have the
same plug type.
Where should the printer usb cable be connected to?

Are you sure that the printer is plugged in and powered on? yes
Can you try all available USB ports? -Where can I find such?
Can you try connecting the printer directly to a port of your computer,
 and not over a hub, or over a hub if you have connected it directly?
Can you check whether the cable is ok, any try with another cable?

Please connect the printer's USB cable to your computer:

You can try both, either any USB port on your computer (the rectangular sockets in https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fd/USB_2_and_3.jpg nowadays most desktop computers have such sockets both on the front and on the back side)
or you can plug it into any free port of your USB hub ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/4port-usb-hub-bus-powered.jpg )

Then re-try

lsusb

and report what you get.

Stupid me had the network cable in the wrong place (the Printer port - but
have spent 7 hours trying to solve the problem, but am way over my head.
Tried Using the Linksys 5 port 10/100 workgroup switch - started to work
fine, but crashed out. I need specific instructions on getting all
working, but the ones I looked at are way over my head. Any suggestions?

Are you now talking about a network cable, or a USB cable?

How do you want to have the connection between your printer and your computer set up?
Do you want to have a direct USB cable connection, or do you intend to do a networking setup connection your printer to the network switch with another network connection from your computer to the network switch (with network cable or eventually wireless)?

The Printer cable setup is the same as it has been for years on the
previous & now current HP Printers.! It's an Ethernet cable

It seems that we are miscommunicating.

Is there a USB cable directly connecting the printer with the computer?
Such USB cable probably has such plugs, the left one at the computer's end and the right one to the printer
http://www.usb-cable.com/assets/images/IMG_16454556.jpg

do a networking setup connection your printer to the network switch with another network connection from your computer to the network switch (with network cable or eventually wireless.

NOTE: On the bottom of this message it says "This Solved My Problem"
How do I know this will solve my problem!!

I still want to know how to do that!

So no do not have a USB cable connection, but you want to access your printer via a networking connection?
Cables with plugs like this:
http://www.cables4all.co.uk/ekmps/shops/cables4all/images/0.5m-ethernet-network-cable-rj45-plugs-cat5e-blue-1666-p.jpg
With such cable from the printer to some kind of network hub or router?

And no USB cable connection between printer and computer?

This is all very confusing to me - I totally rely on your suggested methods.

You decide what is best - I have no clue about all this-it is very
confusing to me-I am just an 82 year old guy that loves computing, having
to technical expertise.
You decide what is best.

Sorry about that - I'll keep answering from the email,
I do not have a USB cable connected to the Computer - instead, I connected
a cable (don't know it's name but is connected to my computer internet
socket. Is that wrong?

There is a USB cable connected to the front left of the Printer, came with
the printer.
I connected one of my internet cables to the Printer, which now I guess is
wrong!! Should have been a usb cable - right!

Do not have such plugs, but as I said just now, I have a USB cable, one
end connects to my Printer left front, the other end attached to my USB
High speed USB2 Hub.

The cable I mentioned - both ends are the same - not like the the picture
you showed.

I assume that you used the wrong sockets on the printer.

Do you have user manuals for that printer, describing how to connect the device?
What cables were delivered with that printer?
Did this printer already work on some other computer? If yes, what operating system?

As far as I know, you have to use the sockets on the back side of the printer, they probably look like this:

mine, but so far have had no luck.*
*Will try again today. Also have found how to use the Linksys 10/100 5-port
Workgroup Switch. Mine is an old Model - will go out this am to get a
modern one which explains the step-by-step process to achieve exactly what
I need. This will certainly solve my problem.*

I have discovered that I need a later model 5-port 10/100 Workgroup
switch-mine is very old. Will pickup one this am & follow the explicit
install procedure that should solve my problem,
I want to express my sincere appreciation for your generous time in
assisting me. I apologise for my lack of tech nohow & your diligence in
enduring it! Your tenacity in perseverance is an admirable quality which I
certainly appreciated. I cant thank you enough.
I will report back on my progress.😁
