My solution was as follows: 0 - observed that hplip-uninstall failed (c.f.https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/2008635 for details); great anxiety ensued; notes say "Total WAG experiment:" and then the following actions 1 - [Synaptic] install hplip (version 3.21.12+dfsg0-1) (also installs: hplip-data, lib{hpmud0,sane-hpaio}, printer-driver-{hpcups,postscript-hp}, python3-{notify2,renderpm,reportlab,reportlab-accel}), hplip-doc, hplip-gui (also installs: python3-dbus.mainloop.pyqt5) -- note that after this installation, hp-info "works" (i.e. it doesn't crash immediately as in the bug report) and interacts appropriately with the printer (HP2734E) 2 - Found other files in /usr/share/hplip that the Jan 27 debacle installed, apparently by pip, so uninstalled them: $ sudo bash # for m in cffi charset-normalizer coloredlogs cryptography deprecation humanfriendly imageio img2pdf imutils networkx ocrmypdf opencv-python pdfminer.six pikepdf pluggy pycparser PyPDF2 PyWavelets scikit-image tesserocr tifffile tqdm pip; do pip uninstall $m; done 3 - [Synaptic] re-install python3-cryptography
