HPLIP on Linux says that the plugin did not successfully install
TweetWhen trying to set up my new printer I ran into an odd problem with hp-setup. It would say:
Plug-in installation successful.
Then proceed to say:
error: The printer you are trying to setup requires a binary driver
plug-in and it failed to install. Please check your internet
connection and try again. Visit http://hplipopensource.com
for more infomation.

I decided to run hp-setup in debug mode (hp-setup -g) and found that it was spitting out the following error: hp-setup[15203]: debug: Either print file is not present or symbolic link is missing:
$ sudo touch /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/hbpl1.so $ sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/hbpl1.so
