I'm using sid. How can I fix this? Is the package broken?

If it is important to get your hplip working again, you could temporarily enable the siduction repo, where the fixed packages are. Save this as "siduction.list" in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory:
deb http://packages.siduction.org/base unstable main
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/base unstable main
deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
deb http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main
This should pull in the fixed packages that you need from the siduction repo. Then you need to immediately comment out the "deb ..." lines in the siduction.list file, to disable that repo again.
Hopefully your debian sid repo will receive fixed packages in the near future which will be installed during a routine upgrade.
hp-check still shows the same error as it did last time. I reinstalled libsane-hpaio but it didn't fix anything. python-qt4 and python-qt4-dbus are installed.
Tried that, didn't work. I don't know if it's relevant, but I had installed hplip before from the hp website, but since it broke frequently after updating I uninstalled the program following the instructions on the hplip website (which are pretty much removing the directories where it's installed) and installed it from the repos hoping I would avoid having to reinstall hplip all the time. Perhaps uninstalling hplip broke something?
I dunno -- it's a head scratcher. I suppose something about the prior installation could have done something that is still affecting the new hplip. I have never seen hp-check crash that way, and apparently not many other people have either, since there are so few examples of it on the 'net. Your original traceback suggests some issue in the python support structure, but your python-qt4 from the sid repo has to be the same as mine (4.10.2), and I've no such problem with hplip 3.13.4-1.1 from siduction, so there is obviously something different about your system's configuration that is triggering the crash, but it is very far from obvious what that difference might be. As a final attempt to be of some help, I will paste in the output from hp-check when it runs here, so you can manually verify that you have the dependencies installed (none of which should cause a crash, btw).
I don't think your situation is at all the same, this topic was for Debian SID , 5 years ago.
It would be better for you to start a newtopic, include the details about your system, any error messages, etc. Things have changed a lot in the last 5 years.
You might be better off just using the current Debian stable, Stretch, the hplip packages have been tested, are up-to-date, etc. and should work much better

Actually, the hplip package in Stretch is version 3.16 (not the latest).
To get my fairly new HP wireless printer to work in my Stretch install, I had to backport the latest hplip 3.18 packages, which worked for me.

Garbage in, garbage out. That means you have to make at least a little effort to supply us with information about what Debian, printer, and the hplip version you're using. Santa didn't bring me a new crystal ball this Christmas.
