Good, your printer is working...
Now, if hp-setup could only tell me what it downloaded, and where it dumped
whatever it loaded on the filesystem…
Hey, it is proprietary so why should they tell you? :-)
But, if you go to /usr/share/hplip and find all the files that have a date of
"today"
you'll probably find all the pieces. One of the pieces should be
/usr/share/hplip/data/plugins/license.txt.
And much of the other files are in /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware
