Denys, the info at the link you provide seems to relate more to running the gui hp-setup; or am I missing something?
This bug affects me as "something" - cups? I dunno - is running hp- setup automagically and behind the scenes. I have tried running hp-setup -i from the command line. When I use it to attempt to install my laserjet P1102w, I get as far as starting the download for the plugin, and then this happens: Creating directory plugin_tmp Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing HPLIP 3.15.2 Plugin Self Extracting Archive............................... Error importing HPLIP modules. Is HPLIP installed? error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed Done. The same thing appears to happen when I try to install my other laserjet, an M1212nf_MFP. I have looked for the string error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed on Google. It seems that this may arise when Python 3 is the default, but running python -V from the command line tells me that the default on my system is 2.7.9. This link https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600360 suggests that I may be missing package python-gobject. Looking in Synaptic, I see I have both python-gobject and python- gobject2 installed. Is it possible that somehow the new Python3 gobject is interfering with hp-setup? I don't feel great about the idea of removing python-gobject to find out... Willing to experiment here if anyone has any ideas... and as Shahar Or mentions, there is no printing happening here at this time... ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #600360 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600360 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422004 Title: pkservice.py crashed with AttributeError in __init__(): 'module' object has no attribute 'MainLoop' Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: New Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Crash on startup ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: hplip-data 3.15.2-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-22.29-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.16.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CupsErrorLog: E [14/Feb/2015:19:56:52 +0100] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
