Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

Open Ubuntu software manager (Snap Store) search box type: Synaptic Install synaptic package manager. Open synaptic package manager in the search box type: python3-pyqt4 -> right click -> install -> yes to all 13 Dependencies. -> Apply. Restart computer, see where you are for the printer.

Hi Bernard first thank you for answering my question.
Actually I had found the solution for my printer even if it is a little bit slow.In fact I tried many thing and the last one was searching on synaptic packages manager I wrote printer and it had came up with many packages to install but first I had downloaded the broken one ,so after a long time I installed all the needed packages but really it was in vain ,therefore I headed for the last resource; to erase the disc and install a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 again and with that I could print.And this it was many days ago now.
So thank you heartily Bernard
