Thanks to Wread who has already cleared the problem and proposed a solution in 32 bit.
An HP Photosmart C5180, "All in one", on the network, allowed me to test the validity of the 64 bit solution. (Printer and scanner)
A. Introduction :
You need to download 18 packages, create and activate the modules.
Apparently, there is no 64 bit version of ReportLab package. It is therefore necessary to create it.
Fortunately there is a file reportlab.SlackBuild! Furthermore it is responsible for downloading
"reportlab-2.5.tar.gz" from "www.reportlab.com".
To achieve this, a little script is required.It will enable you to realize either a single module or
as many modules as there are packets. This may take a while, be patient...
B. hplip64.sh :
1. code: SELECT ALL
2. copy and paste under Kwrite.
3. save as "hplip64.sh" for instance.
4. make script executable : chmod +x hplip64.sh
5. run this script as root (su, password).
Code: Select all

Open a terminal :
1. hp-check : Check the existence and versions of HPLIP dependencies.
What is desired :
guest@porteus:~$ hp-check
No errors or warnings.
Readme : http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/te ... check.html
2. hp-setup : Installs HPLIP printers and faxes in the CUPS spooler.
Tries to automatically determine the correct PPD file to use.
Usage: hp-setup [MODE] [OPTIONS] [SERIAL NO.|USB bus:device|IP|DEVNODE]
Readme : http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/te ... setup.html
For me, network printer, I specify my network address : 172.31.0.10
I can check if the printer is located at that address : guest@porteus:~$ hp-makeuri 172.31.0.10
CUPS URI: hp:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=172.31.0.10 <----printer
SANE URI: hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=172.31.0.10 <----scanner
guest@porteus:~$ hp-setup 172.31.0.10
After that, the file "/etc/cups/printers.conf" is created. You can read it, as root!
root@porteus:/home/guest# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
This line : "DeviceURI hp:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=172.31.0.10" indicates that the printer
is configured properly
Sorry, I have not tested the USB connection...
3. hp-toolbox : The HP Device Manager (aka "Toolbox") for HPLIP supported devices.
Provides access to status, tools, and supplies levels.
warning: hp-toolbox should not be run as root/superuser.
For example, tab "Printer Control" allows you to run three essential functions :
- Start/Idle
- Accept jobs
- Default printer
Before starting "hp-toolbox" you must add user to the groups "sys and "lp" as below :
root@porteus:/home/guest# usermod -G lp,sys -a guest
First start.
a. command line:
guest@porteus:~$ hp-toolbox &
b. KDE menu : Applications/ Utilities/ Printer Management Application
After.
Taskbar, icon "hp" (systray)
I have made more than once the procedure with one module or eighteen modules.
I have never found any error. But ...
IMPORTANT : During a normal session, opened by "guest", do not try to deactivate the module(s) that allow the operation of hplip.
To do this, close the current session and log back in as a super-user "root". You can then deactivate and delete the module(s).
Otherwise, most of the modules hplip are stopped, but not all and you must reboot!
Good luck!
For the purists :
The script does not load the package "requiredbuilder-0.16.5-x86_64-2sl.txz" required by "reportlab.SlackBuild".
You can add it to the list "packages" at the beginning of the script :
in this way: requiredbuilder.
But then, you must delete the lines 18 and 20 :
18. touch /usr/bin/requiredbuilder; chmod +x /usr/bin/requiredbuilder
20. rm /usr/bin/requiredbuilder
