Some update killed my ability to print.
I was able to cure that problem, but have been able to get the hplip
tools to run.
When I tried to run hp-setup the app complains of two things...
first, warning: python-dbus not installed.
second, error: Unable to load Qt4 support. Is it installed?
That second error will change depending on flags set.
I have tried with and without the QT4 flag.
With the flag set, I get the above error, without I get it reporting the
same for QT3 not being installed.
The python dbus error is always present.
I would like to get it working again. Anyone one have any ideas?
I am also wondering if I have some other problem that I have yet to
stumble across.
Thanks
Sean

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before
compiling the HPLIP supplied
tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are
installed to successfully
compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a
distro supplied package
(.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the
proper dependencies installed
to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This
mode will check both of the
above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
