Last but not least, various issues reported by users on the Launchpad page of the HPLIP software have been addressed in the 3.15.9 version, such as an issue where users were unable to print because of a failure of the HPLIP plugin in version 3.15.7, a hpcups assertion failure, also in version 3.15.7 of the software, and some other printing problems.
Download HP Linux Imaging and Printing 3.15.9 right now from Softpedia or directly from the project's official website, whichever suits you best. The software is also available in the main software repositories of numerous GNU/Linux distributions, so it is recommended that you install the latest version from there or keep your existing installation up to date.
