I originally built HPLIP from source.
When I executed the System Tools/Software Updater menu in Lubuntu 14,
one of the updates was HPLIP, and the update crashed.
It looked to me like it was recompiling the source.
I tend to quit all programmes before running Software Updater. The GUI
and desktop take up a fair amount of memory. One way to maximise your
computer's resources would be to login as text mode only - i.e. don't
boot into a GUI. It's been years since I've done that and people are
using systemd these days. When you've logged in, run sudo apt-get
hplip . You might have to get the hpli-gui package as well.
HTH,

I recently installed an old HP Laserjet 2100 on a low-spec machine with
512MB. I installed HPLIP and HPLIP-DOC from Synaptic, but not
HPLIP-GUI, which is for the QT-based GUI HP Toolbox that sits in the
systray, which I concluded I did not need. Then I just used the
Printers tool from the menu.
