As a temporary fix i removed all installed printers uninstalled hplip http://hplipopensource.com/node/188
download the automatic installer from hplip http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html and while executing the installer, when i was asked if the ubuntu distribution was 16.10, i answered "no" and in the following menu i set "operational system = ubuntu " and on "distribution" = other, the installer then set ubuntu 0.0 as operational system and it continued with the "make" = "make install" i configured my all-in-one printer (printer-scanner-fax) and restart H/Y Still the printer was not working, it gave an error regarding "foomatic- rip-hplip" but the scanner and fax function was working so through "synaptic package manager" i marked hpcups (package:printer- driver-hpcups) for reinstallation, and gtklp and libnet-cups-perl for installation, (although i dont think that gtklp and libnet-cups-perl was necessary) restart system after that the printer was working properly with the cups module, and fax and scanner with the hplip module The proper fix would be for HPLIP to release a distro that is supported in ubuntu 16.10, (it was clearly stated in the installation that hplip is not supported in ubuntu 16.10) but after the upgrade in ubuntu 16.10, i found no other way for scanner and fax driver to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620517 Title: toolbox.py crashed with TypeError in /usr/bin/hp-toolbox: 'NoneType' object is not iterable Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: hplip does not operate in my H/Y, i have recently upgraded to ubuntu 16.10, from 16.04 ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: hplip-data 3.16.7+repack0-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-9136.55-generic 4.4.16 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-9136-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 CurrentDesktop: GNOME-Flashback:Unity Date: Tue Sep 6 12:05:35 2016 Dependencies: gcc-6-base 6.2.0-3ubuntu11 libc6 2.24-0ubuntu1 libgcc1 1:6.2.0-3ubuntu11 liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1ubuntu1 xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1ubuntu1 ExecutablePath: /usr/share/hplip/toolbox.py InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-12 (55 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python3.5 Lpstat: device for HP-Deskjet-4610-series: usb://HP/Deskjet%204610%20series?serial=CN2AJ241ZN05TK&interface=1 device for HP-Deskjet-4610-series-FAX: usb://HP/Deskjet%204610%20series%20FAX?serial=CN2AJ241ZN05TK&interface=2 device for Samsung-ML-2165: smb://WORKGROUP/CHRISTINE/Samsung-ML-2160-Series MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
