Unable to connect to dbus. Is hp-systray running?


I recently installed Mandriva One 2009. Since then I have an issue with my HP C5280 All-in-One printer in that if I run hp-toolbox I get the error message:

It isn't but if I try to run hp-systray I get the following output:

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/__init__.py", line 366, in __getitem__
func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: python: undefined symbol: XInternAtom
The upshot of all this is that I can't tell how much ink I have left or use any of the other hp-toobox printer management tools.I had no such problem with Mandriva 2008.1
Can anyone help me to resolve this?
