There is a workaround:

Ubuntu has modified an older version (3.20.3) to work with Ubuntu 20.04

sudo apt install hplip-gui

You could try to check if you have python 3.0 or newer

python ––version

If you have python we check if u have pip

pip3 --version

or

pip --version

if you dont have python and pip installed

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

sudo apt update

sudo apt install python3.8

sudo apt install python3-pip

and installed!

then run

pip install PyQt5

or

pip3 install PyQt5

Then Retry Installing The HPLIP.

Can you help with this problem?
