How To Fix hp2xx: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu hp2xx is provided by hp2xx package.

hp2xx is:

HP2XX reads HPGL ASCII source files, interprets them, and converts them into either another vector-oriented format or one of several rasterfile formats. Currently, its HPGL parser recognizes a subset of the HP 7550A command set. Some high-level functions are missing. Also, only some of the fixed space vector fonts and none of the variable space arc fonts are supported. Beside these limitations, hp2xx has proven to work with many HP-GL sources without any trouble.
