I don't know about libusb-dev, but the part this report is about is
libusb, as I quoted in the report text:
`hp-check` checks to see if you are able to compile & run hplip.
`hp-check -r` only checks the necessary dependancies to run hplip and is what
a user would normally use.

What this error doesn't tell you is that it is really looking for the file
/usr/include/usb.h and friends which are necessary to compile.
In Debian usb.h is located in the libusb-dev package.
Other distributions and people to build their systems from scratch may have
usb.h in other packages, or just installed as part of the libusb
I can't speak about other distributions, but what I can say is that
on my system, an installation of Debian testing with both versions
of libusb installed, hp-check complains that it can't find libusb.
My system indeed does not have /usr/include/usb.h
$ apt-file search /usr/include/usb.h
libusb-dev: /usr/include/usb.h
chealer@vinci:~$ LANG=C dpkg -l libusb-dev
No packages found matching libusb-dev.
chealer@vinci:~$
So, either:
-
libusb is missing usb.h
- hp-check is not checking for libusb correctly
I wasn't compiling hplip, just troubleshooting a printer problem, and
hp-check threw the above.
Trouble shooting as a user you should use `hp-check -r`.
Thanks. I suggest to make -r default then.
Indeed I have setup
reportbug(1) when used by a Debian user to only run the hp-check -r. This is
documented in the hp-check(1) man page.

NAME
hp-check - Dependency/Version Check Utility
DESCRIPTION
Check the existence and versions of HPLIP dependencies. (Run as 'python
./check.py' from the HPLIP tarball before installation.)
SYNOPSIS
hp-check [OPTIONS]
OPTIONS
Compile-time check:
-c or --compile
Run-time check:
-r or --run
Compile and run-time checks:
-b or --both (default)
Set the logging level:
-l<level> or --logging=<level> <level>: none, info*, error,
warn, debug (*default)

NOTES
1. For checking for the proper build environment for the HPLIP supplied

use the --runtime switch.
