Getting to "Printer setup" implies the software compiled, so it looks like the python setup on your machine is sufficiently sensible. Why is cupsys-bsd wanted? ~/hplip-3.14.4/installer/distros.dat clearly states that Debian 6.0 uses cups-bsd (which is what gets downloaded here). Install it with apt-get? Try out the hp-* commands which should now be on your system? Re-compile using "custom"? (cups-bsd is a purely optional package to use with cups. Printing works without it). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
