Public bug reported:
Release: 12.10 (Quantal Beta1)
Package hplip:
Installed: 3.12.6-3ubuntu1
I'm unable to install the drivers for the hp2600nn printer under
Quantal. This used to work under 12.04 (I think). I have a clean install
of 12.10 .
Ran hp-setup under sudo:
sudo hp-setup -g
It detects the printer (as well as my OfficeJet printer). Both are net-
connected.
When I select the printer to install, it offers to download the printer
driver, and I accept. I get the license page, which I also accept.
The plug-in installation seems to succeed. The first time there was a
dialog that it couldn't confirm the signature but I told it to go ahead
anyway. However, after installing the plugin, it won't use it. The
dialog box informing me reads:
The printer you are trying to setup requires a binary driver plug-in and it
failed to install.
Please check your internet connection and try again.
Visit http://hplipopensource.com for more infomation [sic].
When running with debug logging, this message appears on stdout:
hp-setup[31795]: debug:
Done.
hp-setup[31795]: debug: Plug-in installation successful.
hp-setup[31795]: debug:
Done.
hp-setup[31795]: debug: Unable to open file /var/lib/hp/hplip.state for reading.
hp-setup[31795]: debug: Plugin is not installed
error: The printer you are trying to setup requires a binary driver plug-in
and it failed to install. Please check your internet connection and try again.
Visit http://hplipopensource.com for more infomation.
Note: there is no /var/lib/hp directory on my system.
However, after I ran 'mkdir /var/lib/hp', a subsequent attempt
succeeded.
I'll attach the full log.
