What exactly are you doing?

How do you execute the download?

After the download you should not do a doubleclick on the file, but you have to open a terminal window and issue the command
sh hplip-3.20.11.run

see https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/install/install/index for more details
