This bug was fixed in the package hplip - 3.11.1-2ubuntu2

---------------
hplip (3.11.1-2ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/workaround-sf-server-bug-for-plugin-index-download.dpatch:
    In order to download the proprietary plug-in (firmware files, driver
    add-ons), the "hp-plugin" utility downloads an index file from SourceForge.
    Due to software changes at SourceForge which introduced a bug, Python's
    urllib is not able any more to download this file, making the plug-in
    download via "hp-plugin" impossible. HP has quickly released HPLIP 3.11.3a
    which works around the problem by using the command line utility "wget".
    This patch is a backport of the workaround (LP: #740140).

  * debian/control: Let hplip depend on wget. wget is needed for the plugin
    download now.
