USing Debian 3.1 Sarge, trying to install packages in order to get a HP Laserjet printer to work, however packages will not install, seems to be having a big problem with Python, the following are the errors when I apt-get hpijs:

dpkg: error processing python2.3-sip4-qt3 (--configure):

Has anybody got any experience and solutions on this subject?

I found the problem that caused this,

It was caused by a bad .py file in /usr/lib/python2.3 !!!

Use "synaptic", and install all that stuff over again. If the package is already installed, install it over again. There is a search function in synaptic to find packages. On a user terminal window type "xhost +". In a root terminal window type "synaptic".
