Description:
I had a problem while installing hp laserjet p1102 printer.
"hp-setup -i" downloaded everything it needs (hplip-3.11.5-plugin.run) but it could not extract this because of missing gobject/dbus.
But really the problem is that python points to python3 but hp-setup works with python2.
I solved this very easy
ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/bin/python
because /usr/local/bin is first folder in my $PATH.
When printer was installed i removed symlink.

Please, fix this issue.
This task depends upon

I don't know what hp-setup -i does but it shouldn't install / download software to /usr/local/

- hp-setup does not refer to a wrong python executable.
- don't run hp-setup.
- don't bypass the package manager when installing software.
- read the optional dependencies and install hplip-plugin if you need binary blobs.
