Am I missing a package or is the pycurl module not included yet.
Also my hplip status tool is broken but might be related to this.

Looks like system-config-printer depends on pycurl now. Since Slackware doesn't have pycurl package (yet), you can grab a SlackBuild from SBo and build it yourself or wait until it gets added into -current.

Thanks for poiting to the missing module. Is it necessary to report this somewhere so that the module will be included in current?

Slackware developers hang around in this forum quite often, so consider the problem as already reported.

Should be fixed now:
Please mark the thread as SOLVED if it's working for you.

I will update my system this weekend. I assume this fixes the problem and have marked the thread closed.
