hp-plugin dows not download

Asked by Ian Sinclair

When trying to install plugin for hplip-3.12.4 clicking the next button has no effect and nothing is installed. I see fron a similar query that the plugin python script can be downloaded from a site (but the answer 167793 refers to an earlier version). Is there any source available for the hp-plugin.run file for version 3.12.4?
