I have reinstalled the Ubuntu 20.04 version again and installed the puthon3-qt5 in Ubuntu and then i can able to install hp-plugin, this time i never found any issues and printer is also working fine.
Those who are facing the issue in installing please follow the below steps
1) sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 (no need to download and install HP-Lip in ubuntu 20.04 since this version has already hplip installed to verify run dpkg -l hplip) 2) run hp-plugin, it will opens up the HP Plugin GUI
