How to install the Plugin for the HP Laserjet P1005 printer

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins
download the *.run package fitting to the version of HPLIP that you have installed
save it in the Downloads folder
open a terminal window
change directory to the Downloads folder and execute the command
sudo sh ./hplip-*-plugin.run

the result is as follows :-

user@user-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads$ sudo sh ./hplip-3.25.8-plugin.run
sh: 0: cannot open ./hplip-3.25.8-plugin.run: No such file
user@user-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads$

The hplip file is in this directory.
user@user-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads$ dir
hplip-3.25.8.run
user@user-System-Product-Name:~/Downloads$

Don't confuse hplip-3.25.8.run and hplip-3.25.8-plugin.run
They are different files!

downloaded and run as requested.
The result is as follows:-

Plug-in version: 3.25.8
Installed HPLIP version: 3.25.8
Number of files to install: 64

note: Using PyQt5
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

Done.

What next to be done.
Thank you.
