Re: Update Manager error - unable to update
For all of you that have installed hplip from HP's site, the error is most likely because you didn't uninstall the version of hplip you already had. See gm10's fix here.
Re: Update Manager error - unable to update
I did follow the link to he other thread and there are multiple options to identify and correct the error. One of the options that did work for me was to run :apt install --reinstall hplip hplip-data
followed by
apt install --reinstall python3
Power down or reboot and re-run update manager...this did work for me and may or may not work for others.
Thanks to MrEen.

Glad you're fixed, g1230g. Happy to have helped.
From the sudden burst of python3 errors being reported, I'm betting the same will fix most people.
