After receiving the previous message it occurred to me to try to
install python2.6-dev. I did so successfully. I then ran your command
once again; python-dev_2.6.6-13~bpo60+1 was this time successfully
installed.
Next was the smoke test; I ran command "sh hplip-3.14.4.run". It ran
through successfully all the steps except one; it could not install
package cupsys-bsd because that package does not exist in Squeeze --
it is succeeded by cups-bsd. When hplip-3.14.4.run got to the
"Printer setup" section it returned the message "error: hp-setup
failed. Please run hp-setup manually" and closed down.
So I dutifully ran hp-setup. It produced a window entitled "Smart
Install Device(s) detected". The text in the window read as follows.

I was given two options "Download and disable" and "Cancel". The
former was enclosed in a double box, presumably to indicate that that
option is the preferred one.
Not knowing what anything about "smart install" I first selected
"cancel". I then got another error message: "error: Failed to disable
smart install. Please refer link
'http://hplipopensource.com/node/367' for more information."
At this point I went back to the previous window and chose the other
option -- to disable smart install. As soon as I had done so another
message appeared: 'Searching... (bus=usb, search=(None), desc=0)
Receiving digital keys: su - -c "/usr/bin/gpg --no-permission-warning
- --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xA59047B9"'
Then the counter -- a succession of -\/|\/- symbols churning around in
the same place -- started. After 1.5 hours of such churning I thought
it was high time to exit from "hp-setup" and did so.
Any further suggestions, anyone, on how to activate this
printer/scanner/fax machine, etc.?
