[SOLVED] hp-setup does not work via GUI

agent0 · 2014-12-21 20:22:21

Hello.
I installed hp-setup. Then I run:

$ hp-setup -u

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.14.10)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

error: HPLIP is not installed properly or is installed without graphical support. Please reinstall HPLIP
warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed.
error: hp-setup requires GUI support (try running with --qt3). Also, try using interactive (-i) mode.

If I run hp-setup -u --qt3 or hp-setup --gt3 then I get 
error: option --qt3 not recognized

I have also googled and for ubuntu solution was to install hplip-gui. But there is not such package for Arch.
Here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132009 the solution was to install python2-qt. But there is not such package too. I installed python-pyqt4 and it did not was a solution.

Maybe I am missing some package, which is not included to hplip? Help me!

Why don't you use pacman to set it up?

# pacman -S hplib

agent0: please use code tags, not that horrible colouring (which is very hard to read) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code

@jasonwryan, I wanted to put it into BBCode "code", but color is not working in it. I colored text as it is colored in terminal
@TheSaint, hplip is installed and hp-setup is tool, provided by hplip

The colour adds nothing, in fact it makes it harder to read: please fix it.

@jasonwryan, I fix it.

I run hp-check and here is its output. Maybe you can say me what should I install?

jasonwryan · 2014-12-21 21:29:12

Thanks. Looks like a bug. Run `hp-setup -i`, that still works...

agent0 · 2014-12-21 21:37:25

@jasonwryan, bug in arch's package or in upstream? Where should I report?
Also, I have noticed, that it does not support unicode. Because it is trying to display russian letters as '?' symbols.

Open a report on our tracker.

@jasonwryan, I have created a task .

agent0 · 2014-12-22 20:54:58

Solution:
sudo pacman -S python2-{dbus,gobject2,pyqt4,reportlab,notify,pillow} --needed
