This is a dist-upgrade issue if you upgraded from Edgy to Feisty or if
you kept your /home partition, on a clean Feisty install the following
GUI dialog is shown after clicking the HPLIP Toolbox menu item: PyQt not
installed. GUI not available. Install python-qt3 with the Synaptic
Package Manager (Menu: System - Administration - Synaptic Package
Manager) or run the command sudo apt-get install python-qt3 in a
terminal window.
Please remove hplip.desktop and/or hp-toolbox.desktop from
~/.local/share/applications/
HPLIP Toolbox is hidden from the menus by default, you need to show it by
clicking System Preferences Main Menu then select System Preferences
HPLIP Toolbox.
Since hplip.desktop has NoDisplay=true we will always have to show it in the
menus through System Preferences Main Menu which creates a copy of the
desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ with NoDisplay=false.
So this is a bug in hplip, on a dist-upgrade hplip.desktop and
hp-toolbox.desktop under ~/.local/share/applications/ should be removed for all
users.
A dependency on python-qt3 was not added to hplip because:
1) On a server installation we don't want python-qt3 to be installed.
2) Not everybody has a HP printer and some older HP printer can't use the HPLIP
Toolbox, python-qt3 and its dependencies waste 33 MB of installed hard disk
space for these people.
3) The space on the desktop/server CD is limited: the python-qt3 package and
its dependencies would have to be on the CD.
