Bug#482735: Fwd: [Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#482735: hplip should depend on python-qt3



HPLIP is still essentially a Qt3 application. hp-systray can OPTIONALLY use Qt4... I did this because there is a system tray icon class in Qt4, and my Qt3 system tray code is imperfect (I back ported Trolltech's Qt4 code, and some things didn't translate completely). If a user has trouble getting the Qt3 version of hp-systray to properly go into the system tray, the Qt4 version can be run with a --qt4 parameter (and, there have been users that this has worked for). There is no REQUIREMENT for Qt4 in HPLIP, though.

David, Don, can you check this Qt3/Qt4 issue? Thanks.

Dear python-qt4 dudes,

I'm the hplip maintainer and I'm having an issue with the transition of hplip from python-qt3 to python-qt4, and need some assistance as I'm not that up to speed with python.

In short hplip should now be using python-qt4, but for some reason it still calls some elements of python-qt3 as well as python-qt4.

What have I done wrong?

Mark

Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.4-1

When I try to launch /usr/bin/hp-toolbox (included in hplip) the
program doesn't start and the following get's printed in the terminal:

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 2.8.4)
HP Device Manager ver. 13.1

error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
warning: Qt/PyQt initialization failed.
error: hp-toolbox requires GUI support. Exiting.

Likewise when I try to "launch HPLIP Fax Utility" (sh -c
'STARTED_FROM_MENU=yes /usr/bin/hp-sendfax') a window appears which
informs me I should install python-qt3

After installing python-qt3 manually the problem is resolved.
