I have installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 LTS with all updates.



Here I have installed HPLIP GUI with



sudo apt install hplip-gui


Then I after reboot I have hp-systray in the tray (indicator applet), but its dropdown menu is not functioning:

          The autostart file from hplip-gui is located in /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop.

          killall hp-systray
          rm ~/.hplip/hp-systray.lock
          mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart/
          cp /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
          sed -i "s/hp-systray -x/dbus-launch hp-systray -x/" ~/.config/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop


          and then reboot and enjoy:
