HPLIP and Py Qt4...

Hi,

as I have a HP Photosmart Printer I usually used HPLIP to use it on the other distributions.
Now I found the HPLIP on Porteus 1.2 64 bits I successfully installe it.

But when I click the HPLIP menu icon it does not start.

The I tried to find some hp command lines. I found some of them (hp-...) and tested the hp-check command line.
It returned some libraries errors. i installed them but it stil exist a Py Qt4 error I can not solve. And this even the Qt4 exist in the k Menu Settings.

How could I solve this to be able to use the K Menu HPLIP installed module ?

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

You can get the source here: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sta ... 9.4.tar.gz

I have made a module for 32-bits; it is posted in the forum, but I see you are using 64 bits.

Good luck :wink:

Dear wread,

and ...
did you test it to see if work or not ?

Sincerely thanks I will try to make a module on my 64 bits.
I presume I just need to use the dir2xzm tool ?

I did not do it before because I am afraid to make something wrong due to the fact I saw the Qt4 setting icon in the K menu. Then I though there was already a Qt4 and then I though it could cause some conflict...

I will see.

Thanks for your help and comment.

Have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

The HPPrinter package for 32 bits works nicely. It contains, besides, a scanning facility. Has been downloaded over 40 times; some included modules over 300 times....

Don't be afraid of doing something wrong; experimenting is the only way to confirm theory.
Read, read, read, and first when you feel you understand a little bit, try it!
Follow my advice and you will succeed :shock:

Regards.

tracking python deps is a pain but yeah - here is a full list of deps needed to start hplip on clean porteus-1.2 installation:

Code: Select all

PyQt-4.8.1-x86_64-1.xzm
aalib-1.4rc5-x86_64-3.xzm
babl-0.1.2-x86_64-1.xzm
dbus-python-0.83.1-x86_64-1.xzm
gegl-0.1.2-x86_64-1.xzm
gimp-2.6.11-x86_64-3.xzm
hal-0.5.14-x86_64-3.xzm
hplip-3.11.3a-x86_64-1.xzm
ilmbase-1.0.2-x86_64-1.xzm
libexif-0.6.20-x86_64-1.xzm
libgphoto2-2.4.10.1-x86_64-1.xzm
libieee1284-0.2.11-x86_64-2.xzm
libwmf-0.2.8.4-x86_64-5.xzm
net-snmp-5.6.1-x86_64-1.xzm
openexr-1.7.0-x86_64-1.xzm
pygobject-2.26.0-x86_64-1.xzm
python-2.6.6-x86_64-1.xzm
sane-1.0.22-x86_64-2.xzm
sip-4.11.2-x86_64-1.xzm
tcl-8.5.9-x86_64-1.xzm
tk-8.5.9-x86_64-1.xzm
some of them are optional (gimp and hal for sure, still - they are pulled by PPM so i didn't remove them) so the list could be probably shorter.
pls give it a try.

I think francois made the HPPrinting package work on 64 bits by adding the 32-bits compatibility module of fanthom to it. You can give it a try! :Search:

Hi,

after having installed the PyQt, pygobjects and sip it works. The HPLIP toolbox appears but I still have 2 errors on a hp-check command line.How to solve them ?

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ hp-check

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run)
to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.                                     
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an    
already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.                          
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both    
compile- and run-time dependencies).

These are optional as stated. Does the application work?

If not then please follow fanthom's instructions and install the dependencies.
