What did I do: I redirected python3 to python3.5 (ln -s)
I ran hplip-3.15.11.run which analyses and compiles the libraries according to the underlying system. It worked fine. printing works. The log messages suggest that the compilation uses python 2.6 (I have 2.7 as default, which indicates that the installation routines deliberately choose 2.6). What I observed is that graphical frontends of 3.15.11 differ from the utilities in 3.7.x (which is installed by default in 15.10). Thus I tried to figure out if the issue can be reverted to just requiring a fresh install of 3.7.x with python3.5 as default python3 installation. I have no way of deinstalling the utilities (there is no uninstall switch in the installation or at least I didn't find it). So I can only install and confirm: It works. I cannot tell or research the reason and if it is possible to fix the issue by simply reinstalling hplip from the standard repo. >From a production point of view, I cannot install a library which is not >supported through the standard repo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530656 Title: printing will fail with python3.5 set as default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1530656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
