[Hplip-help] Conflict while installing driver

[Johannes Eckert]

Hello, hope you had a good Christmas festival ;) Concerning my problem: I was referred to your page HPLIP by searching for a linux driver on the HP website. By the way: I'm using Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06). After reading what HPLIP is about I tried to install the driver with the command "sudo sh ./hplip-1.6.12.run" and I choose "a" for automatic installation. But then an error occurs and says: INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES ------------------------------------- warning: There are 1 missing REQUIRED dependencies. note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection. warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: cups (cups - Common Unix Printing System) ---------- Running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update' Please wait, this may take several minutes... DEPENDENCY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION ---------------------------------- Running 'sudo apt-get install --force-yes --yes libcupsys' Please wait, this may take several minutes... error: Package install command failed with error code 100 Would you like to retry installing the missing package(s)? (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) : Also if I search manually via "apt-cache search libcupsys" I only get the following results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache search libcupsys libcupsys2 - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs libcupsys2-dev - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - development files libcupsys2-gnutls10 - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - dummy libs for transition I really don't recognize what I'm doing wrong. The 3 above mentioned libcupsys2 files are all installed. I attached my /etc/apt/sources.list file so you see that I changed the references. Can you give me some advice please? Kind regards, Johannes Eckert
