I ran sudo hp-setup and it just worked.

Glad to see you got it working Solarwind.

Synthead is your's still not working?

I realize that this doesn't really help but I thought I would mention that mine works fine. I use 'gksu hp-setup', I am under the impression that you shouldn't launch graphical apps with normal sudo, but perhaps it isn't that important.

I ran through the installation and it all went fine, printed a test page at the end. I then made sure that 'hp-toolbox' worked as well, which it did. There was nothing at all special that I had to do to make it work.

I am using Fluxbox by the way.

hplip is constantly breaking.

It eventually starts working again, but can be rather annoying.
I am on a win32 machine now, but IIRC, there is a file under /etc/ which points to a handful of kde libs. I forget the name of it now, but my hplip broke after an update to this file, and I fixed it with vimdiff I think. (Merging the old and new.)
I'll look more into this tonight, hopefully it helps someone.
Is that ambiguous enough for you?

/etc/ld.so.conf?

Brilliant! yes.

Nathan, err.. I mean Misfit,

When you say breaks constantly, are you referring to after updates or regular operations when there are no related upgrades?

Misfit138 · 2008-09-12 16:11:02

Perhaps I exaggerated. It has broken an average of 2-3 times a year for me, always after updates...and not necessarily updates to hplip itself.
It's usually fixable after a forum search, at least it has been for me thus far.
