Hi Again,
I have just managed to install the HPLIP-3.21.2 package and after restarting when it tries to install software fro my HP Laserjet Pro M28w printer it says it is unable to find requested software. It gives a link to Repositories - Community Help Wiki which is not helpful in this case from my perspective.

1. If no serial number, USB ID, IP, or device node is specified, the USB and parallel busses will be probed for devices.
2. Using 'lsusb' to obtain USB IDs: (example)

$ hp-setup --auto 003:011
(Note: You may have to run 'lsusb' from /sbin or another location. Use '$ locate lsusb' to determine this.)
3. Parameters -a, -f, -p, or -t are not valid in GUI (-u) mode.
