> Denys, the info at the link you provide seems to relate more to running the gui hp-setup; or am I missing something?
yes, you get an error when you run hp-setup GUI. I also get errors that you are describing happening behind the scenes, but I believe it's the same kind of error. Since reporting this bug, I tried HPLIP on Ubuntu 14.10 and discovered that exactly the same problem happens there. When I went to HPLIP website, it said it supports Ubuntu 14.10 in the version 3.14.10 of HPLIP. Ubuntu official repository only offered 3.14.6, and presumably that's why it couldn't work. So I downloaded HPLIP 3.14.14 from their website, and ran their installer, and everything worked fine. Given above story, I think what will happen with Ubuntu Vivid is that nothing will get fixed until HPLIP people release a version that supports Vivid. It may or may not make its way into official Ubuntu repos soon, so you will probably need to monitor HPLIP website and download their installer as soon as they say Ubuntu Vivid is supported. -- 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.
