Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.4-1
Severity: normal
When trying to setup a printer (with LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15) hp-setup
fails in two ways:
- It cannot locate the PPD file (the list of PPD files is empty, and a
PPD has to be selected manually through clicking "Select Other")
- It fails to install the printer , resulting in these two entries in the
syslog:
Jun 13 10:13:27 jorginator python: hp-setup[10755]: error: Printer queue
setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again.
Jun 13 10:13:52 jorginator python: hp-setup[10755]: error: Fax queue setup
failed. Please restart CUPS and try again.
The printer in question is a HP Color LaserJet 2840.
But, when running hp-setup from the command line:
LANG="" gksu hp-setup
everything worked!

Dear Debian User,
Use of our limited, volunteer supported resources is best served by not
keeping open inactive bugs any longer than desirable, especially in
cases where the package concerned is older than the current stable
Debian version and upstream support has been limited. Consequently, the
report is now being closed.
Regards,
Brian.
