[SOLVED] hplip broken: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded

Hi all,

since some recent -Syu update, probably half a week ago, I cannot print any more.
Trying to fix the problem with hp-setup -i produced the message

error: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded. Please check HPLIP installation.

A re-install of the hplip 2.8.12-1 package, including dependencies, did not help.

I am rather new to Arch and grateful for any ideas,
bernacher

I have the exact same problem. If you haven't already I will file a bug.

In the meantime you can downgrade to the previous hplip version: http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/extra … pkg.tar.gz. This solved my printing issues.

Re: [SOLVED] hplip broken: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded

In the bugtracker, djgera brought up this solution:
Install the net-snmp package.

Just check. It did work here. At least the hp-setup error message is gone.

Addition: Obviously this was it. Test pages print again via Cups setup.

Thanks, that fixed it. I just installed Arch for my parents, and if they couldn't print I would've had to revert back to another distro, possibly Windows yikes

Re: [SOLVED] hplip broken: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded

Good work gentlemen, that fixed my problem as well.

However I'm confused, if that fixes it is the bug simply that net-snmp should be listed as a dependency and isn't?

Anyhow, thanks.

I ran into this today as well.  net-snmp is listed as an optdepend.

Shouldn't it be a full dependency? On my system, printing simply doesn't work without it, and it's quite hard to debug, since all you get are cryptic error messages.

Re: [SOLVED] hplip broken: HPMUDEXT could not be loaded

Hmmm - i dunno.  I ran into this today too.  You def need net-snmp to run hp-setup.
