This bug is old so lets renew this a bit with my experience on Ubuntu Mate 16.04... I have a HP LaserJet P1102w

Installation detected the printer on the network and everything seemed fine until i tried printing, it did not work.

i new i needed to run hp-plugin at this point but there was no information or any specific error pointing me to it. Running hp-plugin failed with it complaining about a missing gui library of some kind. After installing hplip-gui, running hp-plugin as a normal user went smootly. It asked for my password and installed fine. The printer was working after that.

There is a feature request for the missing hplip-gui...
