Hello,
something wrong happens to hplip.
The last fully working version is 1.7.1.
Then 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 releases appeared which used to freeze in hp-toolbox
when going from one tab to another, or after choosing Device->Refresh all.
It looks hpssd is breaking due to freezing in hp-toolbox.
Only killall python and restarting hplip service can restore hplip and
hp-toolbox.
Then 1.7.4 and 1.7.4a appeared and then I can't run hp-toolbox at all because
already known xsane missing dependency. After installing xsane the hp-toolbox
works but 1.7.2/1.7.3 freezing comes back. xsane is not required to have
printing wroking. hplip prints even if hp-toolbox crashes because of mising
xsane.
In all versions printing works perfect. I can use cups/texteditor
configuration to setup printing. Only hp-toolbox causes troubles since 1.7.2.
Please fix these freezing problems. HP-toolbox is great and I buy HP printers
only because of this wonderful driver and control panel.
As for xsane/sane I think it should remain optional dependency. My Deskjet
5940 is only printer so scanning applications on my machine is redundand.
I use Asus A8N-VM CSM mainboard with USB 2.0/1.1 EHCI/OHCI controller and HP
certified usb 2.0 cable.
cups 1.2.11
Python 2.5.1
PyQt 3.17.2
have a nice day,
