Gday All, I have been happily using puppy 4.2.1 USB on IBM T60 laptop. Just now moved to lupu-5.2.8 USB same machine. My printer is a USB connected HP PSC 1355 This printer works perfectly with puppy 4.2.1 including the full functionality provided by the complete HPLIP package and associated dependencies. Under lupu-5.2.8 the printer works - but I cannot get the full HP functionality (hp-toolbox etc) like I did previously. Per the instructions on http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27519 I have applied the following packages - in this order: 1. tcl-8.5a4nothreads.pet 2. tk-8.5a4nothreads.pet 3. Python-2.5.2.pet 4. libnetsnmp-15.pet 5. hplip_dependencies.pet 6. hplip-3.9.2.pet 7. hpijs-3.10.2-dynppd.pet I have also executed the hplipfull.install script which is created. All installs report success - and I get a HP device manager menu item under the Utilities group. However, when I try to run this menu item (or any of the underlying python scripts) I get the error message: warning: python-dbus not installed warning: hp-toolbox should not be run as root/user error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting It appears that there is some other requirement relating to python and/or Qt which is need for this to work. Could someone please advise what additional steps are required for me to have the same functionality in lupu-5.2.8 as I had under 4.2.1 Thanks |

mmm..... no ideas from anybody? I've attached a screen print of the error in case that might prompt any ideas. I know there is an answer - I was just hoping that I might be able to leverage someone else's experience and not have to spend several weeks investigating myself - especially since I don't really understand what I am doing! Thanks

Looking at the error message it looks like you need Python and Qt bits installed- python-dbus PyQt Maybe start another thread asking about them - as I'm not sure how to acquire them --- also don't know if you check these threads- How to Install Your Printer/Scanner in Quirky/Lupu/Slacko http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59015 hpliplite: dynamic packages http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58421 _________________ Wiki  Audacity 2.0.1 |

Just to inform that full hplip is available for slacko-5.3.3. See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=628193&search_id=1165431670#628193 |
