Syntax error hp-setup line 112 after python3 ..(pseudo Closed)

Please advise how to change python3 to point to python2 to eliminate the setup error in hp-setup.

The /usr/bin/hp-setup is reported to have a syntax error on line 112.

I assume this is caused by the python3 change.

Update your system should fix it... An up-to-date version of that file has "#!/usr/bin/env python2" so works.

lilsirecho · 2011-01-04 16:43:14

Which file are you referring to?

Is it HPLIP or what?

I assume that file is generated by HPLIP which is a PKGBUILD.

I generated that recently.

hp-setup is an executable provided by the hplip package. The hplip package depends on python2. Update your system, and all will be well.

This problem occurred after upgrade yesterday.

I assume the update failed per your report.

Will try again...........

Make sure you're using an up-to-date mirror as well.

Have verified the latest files installed but the printer prints negative again. Ghostscript is -9.0.0-2.

hplip is from -Syu and cups is -1.4.5-2.

HP6840 model

Again? This is a different problem, isn't it?

Also, what exactly do you mean by "prints negative"?

lilsirecho · 2011-01-05 20:22:56

The images have negative color values like a photo negative.

This problem has appeared for a while with printers. I assumed that it was solved with the advice given on this thread, but it seems not.

I may have to go back to an older ghostscript again.

lilsirecho · 2011-01-05 21:56:18

Tried older ghostscript8-70-4 but still have negative pix values.

lilsirecho · 2011-01-07 02:36:41

What ghostscript may solve the negative pix problem?

I too have these problems (both printing in inverted colors and hplip not working). My printer is configured via CUPS and I have the hp 6980DT which is very similar to your 6940 model.

I get the following message when I try and run hp-setup.

warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed.

This occurs on both my 32 bit and my 64 bit system, both of which are up to date.

I had same error with hp-systray and I've seen that hplip doesn't install by default python2-qt4 : this both commands are graphical user interfaces, thus they need this package.

To see other optional packages, see : http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/hplip/

I believe it's related to this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24372 so it's not closed as the title suggest, isn't it?

Moderator comment: Well, the topic is not really closed -- it just says closed in the title. I'll adjust that to avoid confusion
