During the install, the installer doesn't recognize Ubuntu 18.04, so it asks me to tell it which OS and version I'm using.
After that, it finally fails with:
INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
-------------------------------------
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libusb (libusb - USB library)
warning: This installer cannot install 'libusb' for your distro/OS and/or version.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.
I have installed according to How to install latest HPLIP on my Ubuntu to support my HP printer and/or scanner?
output of grep -r ^deb /etc/apt/ --include="*.list":
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe restricted multiverse
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security universe restricted multiverse main
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates universe restricted multiverse main
Admittedly this is on an upgraded system not a clean install of 18.04.
I'm not sure whether installing libusb would not just lead to a cascade of additional missing dependencies ― before libusb, I already added (using apt) one missing dependency that it failed on with the same type of error message: cups-devel, by fiddling to gather that libcups2-dev contains cups-devel.
Installing libusb and libusb-dev didn't solve this error message, they are probably not the right package for what's missing.
