Another piece of advice: For mailinglist discussions, please keep things
on the mailinglist. We're (almost) all doing this in our free time, so
private 1:1 support (rather than letting everyone help) just doesn't
scale. I took the freedom to re-add the ML.

Indeed Python 2 is deprecated since January 2020 (not 2021).

On my Archlinux system, hplip is using Python 3 only, so it's definitely
possible.

You seem to be running the latest version, from your output.

The HP page claims compatibility with Ubuntu 20.04:
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/install

Yet apparently that doesn't work properly. But that's unrelated to PyQt
really - you'd need to ask either the HP Support or perhaps some kind of
Ubuntu forum about what's going on there.
