[SOLVED]hplip with qt4

Chris Cromer · 2015-02-10 14:31:33

My hp software stopped working after I updated hplip today. I am getting this error:

error: Unable to load Qt4 support. Is it installed? cannot import name '_gobject'

I have all the python2 dependencies installed, but I still get this problem and can't open the hp software. Any ideas?

hplip uses python 3 now.

Hmm, however there is no python3 options in the repositories.

What do you mean? All hplip optional dependencies have been changed to python3

Which I am still getting this error even though the default python is installed.

have you installed python-pyqt4?

"python-" indicates v3 "python2-" indicates v2 ... if only there had been a front page news announcement about this when it happened months ago

Yes, I do have python-pyqt4 installed. After I did the upgrade I installed all the new optional dependencies that were listed. So even with all the python3 dependencies installed it still won't run.

python-gobject seems to be needed now instead of python-gobject2 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43781

Thank you, that was the problem. The dependencies and the wiki don't mention it, so I never installed that. Now it runs.

Looks like the wiki needs to be updated too.
