With this users lose GUI-based maintenance functionality like ink level check, print head cleaning, ... As a workaround on all network printers (independent whether they are driverless IPP or not) the printer's web administration interface can be used, going to http://HOSTNAME/ with a browser, HOSTNAME being host name or IP of the printer. On USB only driverless printers allow access to the web administration interface, via http://localhost:60000/, but most modern printers are driverless. hp-toolbox only supports HP printers, no other manufacturers. Also, hp-toolbox, being part of hplip-gui is only used by very few users, as it is not installed by default. Printing and scanning is not affected. Your printer gets set up fully automatically or you can set up as any non-HP printer with GNOME Control Center, system-config-printer, or via HTTP://localhost:631/. Scanners in HP's devices will get automatically discovered by scanning frontends, like simple-scan. [ Test plan ] Start the toolbox with hp-toolbox Without the fix you will get the crash mentioned in the title of this bug report. With the SRU applied, the toolbox starts normally and can be used. This test can be done independently of whether one has an HP printer or not. [ Where problems could occur ] The changes are very small and easy to understand, so the risk of a regression is low, and as this is code for HPLIP's GUI there cannot happen more than now, that the GUI tools crash. The patch only applies to GUI code, printing and scanning cannot get affected by it.
