Public bug reported: Setting Python 3.5 as the default for python3 breaks printing over HPlib.
Steps to reproduce: sudo -s cd /usr/bin rm python3 ln -s python3.5 python3 ... print something using a hplip enabled printer -> printer stopped rm python3 ln -s python3.4 python3 # this was the default setting after installation ... printing resumes I also observed a crash in the HPLip libraries which indicated the cause being in the hplip package. (this was not reproducable though) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: hplip 3.15.7-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-22.27-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Jan 3 15:30:56 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-17 (960 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64+mac (20130424) Lpstat: device for HP-Color-LaserJet-CP2025dn: hp:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_CP2025dn?ip=10.1.0.20 MachineType: Apple Inc.
