Then I would suggest the following: Don, you tell us exactly, which programs are GUI-only and which are also usable on the text console.
The GUI-only programs and ALL desktop menu entries (also the ones of combined test/GUI tools, as a call from the menu makes only sense for the GUI mode) we move to hplip-gui, all the rest stays in hplip. Then there is no not-working menu entry any more when having only booted/installed the CD without any extra packages, but there is still the possibility to do from the command line what is possible on the command line. Installing hplip-gui will then automatically also install python-qt3 and all GUI tools (and GUI parts of combined text/GUI tools) are accessible via menu entries and work. -- [Edgy] HPLIP Toolbox doesn't start from gnome menu https://launchpad.net/bugs/54667 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
