Isso porque durante a instalação preferi que o próprio hplip me notificasse sobre atualizações. Até aí tudo ok.
Porém ao clicar na opção de atualizar o programa não atualizava. (erro?)
Contornando.
Hoje resolvi resolver o problema e na primeira tentativa, fui bem sucedido. Posto aí para quem estiver com o mesmo problema.
Eu instalei meu hplip como root.
Então rodei o seguinte comando:
