Bug Description
Every time I run the install the latest version of HPLIP through HP Upgrade Manager, it eventually prompts me:
PRINTER SETUP
-------------
Please make sure your printer is connected and powered on at this time.
Do you want to setup printer in GUI mode? (u=GUI mode*, i=Interactive mode) :
If I continue, the installer creates duplicate, redundant printers, since I already have printers set up.
The installer should detect that printers are already installed, display them, and ask if I want to install new ones. The current installer doesn't offer any choice except "install" -- there is no "quit".
This is on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
Linux myhost 3.13.0-53-generic #89-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 20 10:34:39 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi Daniel,
At the end of the installation you see
RESTART OR RE-PLUG IS REQUIRED ------- ------- ------- --
-------
If you are installing a USB connected printer, and the printer was plugged in when you started this installer, you will need to either restart your PC or unplug and re-plug in your printer (USB cable only). If you choose to
restart, run this command after restarting: hp-setup (Note: If you are using a parallel connection, you will have to restart your PC. If you are using network/wireless, you can ignore and continue).
Restart or re-plug in your printer (r=restart, p=re-plug in*, i=ignore/continue, q=quit) :
If the user wish to configure the printer he may press enter <enter> and proceed for printer setup or else he can <quit> by pressing 'q'.
If the user wishes to configure the print queue and proceed to use interactive mode he will see a warning message if the queue is already present.
PRINTER SETUP
-------------
Please make sure your printer is connected and powered on at this time.
