Sebastien, Robbie, the problem here is a bad interference of the hp- plugin utility with ibus. To reproduce this, you need to set Russian locale, install hplip-gui and run
hp-plugin -ldebug Then you get the following output: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51322144/hp-plugin%20ldebug%20output.txt which shows that there is a problem with ibus. ** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: Invalid => New -- The HP 1018 printer not work out of the box if used non-US locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
