Have now gone back to Scorpion.
Plugin (although "unable to receive key from key server do you still want to install" message popped up) and test page went well on first try.
HP OfficeJet with fax (via ethernet as opposed to usb for previous LaserJet 1018) installed on first try.
]]>Went through CUPS setup (1st time ever) and was lost.
Didn't know which printer option to install.
Anyway, chose one and after a few this and that, for some reason, printer was finally installed and test page printed!!!!
Unbelievable!
Never seen such a complicated thing.

During printer installation per Q4OS instructions,
had to do hp-plugin instead of sudo hp-plugin.
-also asked for password (which i then dutifully changed per your post in this thread = sudo passwd).
So here is proof that plugin installed:

Now if i can get the HP toolbox to install the printer...
]]>Back to Scorpion now and HP printer setup (as per Q4OS docs) and printed test page like a breeze!
]]>Had no issues with stable Scorpion.
Was in midst of going back to it, but curious as i am... will maybe try Centaurus again to see if p.w. change will work.
Also recall an error message in terminal when trying to download the plugin, but can't find the piece of paper i jotted it on.
Did you follow these steps to install the printer ?
