Getting to "Printer setup" implies the software compiled, so it looks
like the python setup on your machine is sufficiently sensible. Why is
cupsys-bsd wanted? ~/hplip-3.14.4/installer/distros.dat clearly states
that Debian 6.0 uses cups-bsd (which is what gets downloaded here).
Install it with apt-get? Try out the hp-* commands which should now be
on your system? Re-compile using "custom"?
(cups-bsd is a purely optional package to use with cups. Printing works
without it).
