Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.6.b-4
Severity: normal

I have started to see these log messages on my headless print
server:

  vizier HP_LaserJet_3052?ip=192.168.14.65: prnt/backend/hp.c 528: dBus Connection Error (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)!
  vizier HP_LaserJet_3052?ip=192.168.14.65: prnt/backend/hp.c 511: dbus message send failed!
  vizier HP_LaserJet_3052?ip=192.168.14.65: prnt/backend/hp.c 511: dbus message send failed!

I don't have dbus installed because I don't need it. Nor does hplip
need it, as far as I can tell, this is only a feature to integrate
better with the desktop.

I think it would be good to degrade these messages and refrain from
the use of words like error and failure to not trip logcheck and
similar tools.

After all, there was no error and the page printed fine.

Maybe hplip could test if dbus is installed and only then report
errors on failure, but otherwise just stay silent about anything
dbus-related, if the local system clearly does not support dbus and
as long as dbus is not essential for printing and core operation?

(please don't ever make dbus essential for printing)

madduck,

Thanks for your report from last year,

For a headless printserver we can now recommend you install the hplip-cups or hpijs packages.

We have decoupled the dependencies for graphical components as well as other desktop integration capabilities into the main hplip & hplip-gui packages.

As such I am closing your report, however if you feel there is something which needs to be address, please don't hesitate to reopen and provide moreinfo.

Mark
