So I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 (Ubuntu 22.04) and your installer is trying to look for the package "python3-pyqt4" which does not exist for either Linux Mint 21.3 or Ubuntu 22.04. I've tried telling the installer that my OS is both of those things. Digging in deeper, I modified the "core_install.py" to exclude looking for "python3-pyqt4" because it looks like someone did a bad duplicate copy and paste under the "python3_dep" dictionary, one entry overwriting the other. So I fixed that, but even still, the "automatic" installer seemingly can't install the needed dependencies automatically.

I managed to get a minimal setup to work on Ubuntu 24.04 by running
python3 install.py --no-qt4
from the hplip-3.24.4 directory and only installing the driver in the custom install.

Thanks. That worked for me on ubuntu 24.04, but to get the scanner working I needed a plugin, which apparmor policies rejected (took me ages to find that out). Removing hplip, rebooting and installing WITHOUT policies fixed that (or I could have removed the enforcement in apparmor). Running hp-plugin installed the required file.

Thank you, I'm on LInux Mint 22 and could get the scanner of my MFP1120n working by running this command line.
