Hi. I found 2 problems in the automatic installer when installing on ubuuntu 7.04 (or to be more exact kubuntu):
Installer version: HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 2.7.6) HPLIP Installer ver. 2.0 1. 8-<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPENDENCY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION ---------------------------------- Running 'sudo apt-get install --yes --force-yes libsane' Please wait, this may take several minutes... warning: An optional dependency 'scanimage' is still missing. warning: Some features may not function as expected. 8-<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's no package scanimage in ubuntu. But the scanimage binary is provided in the sane-utils package. After the installation of this package the warning disapeared. 2. 8-<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUILD AND INSTALL ----------------- Running './configure --disable-network-build --disable-pp-build --enable-fax-build --enable-gui-build --enable-scan-build --enable-doc-build --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --enable-foomatic-xml-install --disable-hpijs-only-build --prefix=/usr' Please wait, this may take several minutes... error: './configure --disable-network-build --disable-pp-build --enable-fax-build --enable-gui-build --enable-scan-build --enable-doc-build --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --enable-foomatic-xml-install --disable-hpijs-only-build --prefix=/usr' command failed with status code 12 8-<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After entering the hplip dir and running mannualy the same cofigure command, I found that the actual error is: configure: error: cannot find sane-backends-devel support (or --disable-scan-build) After installing the packages libsane-dev and libsane-extras-dev the problem was solved (I am not sure which one did it), and the automatic installer worked OK. Congratulations for the fine installer, and keep the good work supporting Linux.It's because of your work that I always buy HP printers and recomend it to my friends (Linux users or not).
