Well, there is supposed to be a "hp-makecopies" in your path that symlinks back to "makecopies". The toolbox is supposed to favor that over running "./makecopies.py" (which is there basically for me so that I can work out of a CVS sandbox without installing). So, I'm wondering, does "hp-makecopies" work? Do other "hp-" commands work (like hp-info, hp-probe, etc)? Its possible there's an error in our makefile.

Hi,

I am using hplip 1.6.9 under Kubuntu 6.6.1 with a Laserjet
3392, connected via the builtin jetdirect interface over
ethernet.

Anything works great.
Out of curiosity, I started hp-toolbox and found the "Make
copies...." button. A click on it revealed the error message:
"python: can't open file '/usr/share/hplip/makecopies.py': [Errno
2] No such file or directory" from the console where I started
hp-toolbox from.

A quick look into  the /usr/share/hplip/ directory revealed that
there is a python script "makecopies", but not one called
"makecopies.py".
So I created "makecopies.py" by doing a quick symlink to
"makecopies" and: Voila!!!, the copy dialogue pops up when I
click on "Make copies...".

I still wonder what use this is when
I still have to go to the printer/copier in order to put the
original sheet onto the copier from which I want to make copies.

But more interesting: Is this is a tiny bug or just
something I screwed up within my own installation?

Thanks much for help
Eberhard
