hp-setup not working as intended

Firstly, I would like to inform that I'm a new user of Ubuntu and I'm not much familiar with the usual stuff in Ubuntu. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I'm trying to add my printer to my computer using HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing). HPLIP version is 3.20.3. When I type the hp-setup command in Terminal, this is what I get:

~$ hp-setup

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.20.3)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

error: /home/username/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/QtWidgets.abi3.so: failed to map segment from shared object

Please let me know what I should do to solve this issue.

Solution 1:

You have a mess of local and global python modules.

Remove problematic with

pip3 uninstall pyqt5

and retry.
