Then



select PPD file dialog

It should simply work without PPD file. It is not declared in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat even in latest HPLIP 3.19.3.



So you need to install all HPLIP stuff with



sudo apt-get install hplip-gui hpijs-ppds


and then follow hp-setup wizard.



If hp-setup fails, then try install all known printer drivers with



sudo apt-get install printer-driver-all


and use system-config-printer.
