Try:

cd $HOME
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.16.9.run
chmod +x ./hplip-3.16.9.run
./hplip-3.16.9.run

You will be asked for your credentials in the installer.

Does that help?

The above instructions were followed.
The Print Queue shows the print job as "held" , when it is "released" it indicated that it is being printed and the job is complete but it does not print the the print queue again indicates the job as "held".

In view of earlier problems with HPLIP which has to be reinstalled every time the system is upgraded, is there a possibility of installing the "Foomatic" driver which worked flawlessly even after a system upgrade. If not how to get over the present problem with HPLIP.

Any suggestions.
Thank you.
