Re: Bullseye and hplip install



Christoph, thanks for the reply. Autoremove was run successfully. The bullseye version was installed with no errors but wouldn't run. I tried several other versions from the repository, both debian and generic versions each built with different configs. No luck. The very latest hplip version added to the repo this week doesn't give the 'wrong debian version' notice during the configuration and compiles and installs with no errors but still won't run. I'll try again using the static lib configs. I was thinking maybe a QT3/4/5 issue but the hp utilities won't run in non gui mode either. If I uninstall the bullseye version and just reinstall it I'll get different errors for missing files that don't exist in the bullseye repos. I suspect there's something that prevents those missing files from being configured and compiled by the installer. Lastly, I installed the bullseye hplip version to a clean bullseye installation and it still didn't work for me. ????

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,

Here's the deal! I've upgraded from buster to bullseye with no real issues,
overall, with the exception of only one app so far. hplip didn't run after
the upgrade and I've uninstalled and re-installed hplip from the bullseye
repo and it does install but doesn't work. No warnings on the install but
it won't run from the gui and launching from a terminal gives numerous
errors. I won't post those yet but a couple questions to start:
Has anyone installed hplip successfully and had it run properly? and

Other than a normal install, what did you do to get it up and running?

On my system, CUPS printing works perfectly and I also have python 2 and 3
installed but configured to use python3, 3.9 to be exact. It appears that
hplip is centered around python2.x and it's possible this is the problem.

I have installed Bullseye a few month ago together with cups and
hplip. Python2.x is not present on my system.

Any info would be appreciated. I only use hplip to clean the printheads and
to check the ink levels.

Did you run apt-get autoremove? This could clean up the system and
helps to remove outdated stuff.

Kind regards,
Christoph
