Can't install HP Deskjet 2540 in Ubuntu 18.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I installed hplip and hplip-data. Then I started HPLIP Toolbox GUI. I click add printer and then I get a message (see pic) that PPD file is not found. When I click browse I find some .gz file and none of them solve the issue if selected.
Then
My Ubuntu is Ubuntu 18.04
The output of apt-cache policy hplip hplip-gui:

Following this post, I did:
sudo apt-get install hplip-guihp-setup
I get a GUI for HP Device Manager. My printer is connected by USB. So I select USB then Next. Then I move to another page with title Select from Discovered Device, which shows my printer listed. I click on my printer and Next. Then I get this in the terminal.

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.

I followed every step. When I runsystem-config-printerI click "Add" button it asks for authentication to fetch device (it seems for network printers). But my printer is USB.
