HPLIP plug-in package too works well in both Py2 and Py3 environments. This problem is seen due to mixed Python environments. HPLIP maintains /usr/bin/python as the shebang lines; allowing the scripts to run with whatever is the default python. But in Ubuntu HPLIP packages, shebang is changed to /usr/bin/python3 which makes scripts to run with Py3. The python script inside the plugin package holds /usr/bin/python as the shebang, due to which it runs in Py2 (which is default). The problem happens as the python script inside plugin package is invoked by a script which contains /usr/bin/python3 as the shebang (updated in Ubuntu packages).
Since plug-in package is proprietary, we will provide a solution to this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430561 Title: hp-plugin crashes with error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1430561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
