Bug Description

I try to add a new printer HP ColorLaserJet MFP M281.

hp-setup terminates with the following error:

As a workaround I used the CLI interface to set up the printer. No issues as far as I can tell!
hp-setup -i

This fix solves the problem at least with python 3.

The error shows up both on the Ubuntu 20.04 live CD and a fresh install, both using a fresh download of HPLIP 3.20.5.run installer and following the instructions on HP's website.

There are also some missing dependencies which can be solved by installing pip3 from the "Universe", then using pip3 to install pyqt5, but this "translate() takes exactly one argument (2 given)" error persists no matter what I do.
