Hi
I have just installed hplip ver. 1.6.6a from tar file on a SuSE
10.0 system, following the install procedure on the web site.
Most things work fine: that is I can print using my
configured deskjet 815c and using cups on this printer goes
fine as well.
The problem is when I am trying hp-align, or similar things,
because then I get the following errors:
----------
>hp-align
warning: No status available for device.
error: Channel write error

An alignment page will be printed.
Please load plain paper into the printer. Press <Enter> to contine or 'q' to
quit.

---------------------------------------------------------
I thought this may be a permission problem but giving r/w
permissions to /dev/lp0 or /dev/parport0 does not change anything, nor
running hp-align as user or root.
I have tried to find some explanation on the web, but was unable to find
anything, except maybe somewhere a reference to PyQT, but hp-check
confirms that that is OK. hp-check reports soem errors though:
