HPLIP on Debian 9.6

#1 Post by Shmotten »

The last supported version is 9.5 and when I install it it says the packages pyqt4 and pyqt4-dbus are missing, eventhough they are installed with their new names (python-pyqt4 and python-pyqt4-dbus). So is there any way to install it or let it know the packages are installed?

Is Hplip the one from Repository, or the one from the HP website?

From the website, but the one from the repository didn't function on my PC.

What printer do you have? What minimum version of HPLIP does it require? Stretch has 3.16.11, and I have been able to backport 3.18.10 on Stretch, which requires a bit of a trick (build with the -J1 (not -j1) flag to prevent a parallel build). It's not hard to backport, and I could talk you through it.

I thought stretch-backports had 3.17.7 or something, but it seems to have been removed.
