Bug Description

Hi,

we have a report in Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1641100 , which is about getting signing key, when key server used in the code is unavailable. Rok Mandeljc created a patch to use key servers pool rather than one specific.

Would you mind adding it into hplip project?

Actually, I tried to connect to pgp.mit.edu with gpg three times in the last two weeks, all without success. I think the issue is more urgent than expected - it blocks users for installing plugin.

The following patch updates previous - now it uses list of keyservers and the script is able to try the next keyserver if previous key download failed.

The SKS pool servers could be removed from the list, as SKS is dysfunctional these days.

Servers I found working: keyserver.ubuntu.com, pgp.surf.nl. keys.openpgp.org does *not* work for hplip, because gpg refuses to import new keys without user IDs ("gpg: key 73D770CDA59047B9: new key but contains no user ID - skipped").
