Before executing the hplip script, the Ubuntu "Main", "Universe" and "Multiverse" repositories need to be enabled first.
What is the full Terminal output of this command?
find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

Maybe the missing package is
python-dbus-dev
What puzzle me is the following:
Normally the HPLIP installer correctly identifies the operating system and version, but in your case the first guess is "Debian stretch/sid". Something must be very special with your installation, that the automatic identification fails. Maybe this is also the cause that the identification and installation of the dependencies fails.

There is something so specific on your system that the HPLIP installer wrongly identifies your system as Debian instead of Ubuntu, and this probably causes the installer to wrongly state that some packages are missing although they are there.
I suspect that Mendeley-Desktop is the cause for all this. (I see files with names like LibQt5DBus.so in the Mendeley Desktop installer file - files that seem related to the packages that are claimed missing, maybe the Mendeley-provided versions interfere with the Ubuntu-provided ones.)
Sorry, but I do not know anything about that Mendeley Desktop, and have no idea how to proceed with it.
Some remaining ideas:
There is one thing that could still be tested: The HPLIP installer tries to identify whether pyqt4-dbus is present by running the python code:
What do you get if you run that in python?
(similar verification could be done for the other failing package tests)
There should be a HPLIP installer Debug log file created somewhere ("Installer log saved in: hplip-install_

This is unexpected:
The file qt.x86_
My conclusion is that your python installation is not configured the normal way. This might also be the cause that the HPLIP installer does not correctly identify your operating system.
Apparently you are also using anaconda.
Maybe you have to use conda to install the dependent packages, e.g. "conda install -c anaconda pyqt=5.6.0" or whatever the correct command and package might be.

That was it! I uninstalled Anaconda and then I could correctly install
hplip. It did recognize my operational system (Ubuntu 16.10) and everything
went smoothly from there.
Thanks a bunch, Manfred!
Best,
Rubem
