    python 3.6 is also installed on this box it came as the default. to fix python 3 problems i did
    Code:
    # apt install idle-python3.7 libpython3.7 libpython3.7-dbg libpython3.7-dev libpython3.7-minimal libpython3.7-stdlib libpython3.7-testsuite python3.7 python3.7-dbg python3.7-dev python3.7-doc python3.7-examples python3.7-minimal python3.7-venv
    to set python3.7 as the default i did
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 0
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.7 1
    sudo update-alternatives --config python3
    here are 2 choices for the alternative python3 (providing /usr/bin/python3).

    That printer will work with full support using the version of hplip avaiable in the repos of 18.04 so why not use that; it will install in the usual manner with software centre or sudo apt install hplip
