  hp-plugin needs /usr/bin/python to point to python3*

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:

Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Vivid, my HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP would not work
  anymore, and trying to install the binary driver, as prompted by the
  HPLIP utility would fail. After fiddling for a good hour, I realized
  that the utility was failing to load the python modules for hplip:

  ####
  $ gksu hp-plugin

  [ ... ]

  Uncompressing HPLIP 3.15.2 Plugin Self Extracting Archive...............................
  Error importing HPLIP modules.  Is HPLIP installed?
  ####

  I changed to /usr/bin, and noticed that python was a symlink to
  python2.7; I temporarily made it be a symlink to python3.4, and I
  managed to install the proprietary plugin for my printer. However,
  other software would crash, so I reverted to have the symlink pointing
  to the old python2.7 location.
