hp-photosmart 2575 printer/scanner on slackware 10.2
as someone who still relatively new to linux, i'm happy that i have so far managed to stay the course with slackware. it has been not only the most challenging and difficult distribution, but also - and by consequence - the most informative as to what the linux experience is about, i think. my final task in setting up my system is to get a printer working in slackware and i need to seek guidance on this one.
i'm using slackware 10.2 2.4.31 with xfce as my desktop environment. i chose not to install any kde. my current printer is an hp-photosmart 2575 all-in-one. i have installed the latest cups software, hplip etc. and any dependencies that have been necessary. i've started cups and added the printer: Quote:

this is all consistant for both root and user. i'm going to keep plugging away at this, but if anyone has any help to offer i'd really appreciate it. thanks. digitalmojo17 |
Looks like you missed installing Qt (no module named qt). HPLIP requires:
kdebindings-3.3.x, kdelibs-3.3.x, qt-3.3.x, and net-snmp-5.2.x. There is a ./configure "switch" (I can't remember what it is right now) to exclude the network (net-snmp) checking if you don't have a network, nor ever plan on using your printer over the network if you compile HPLIP yourself. If you didn't I'm fairly certian you will need the net-snmp package as well as all of the hplip packagers I know of (including myself :D) always compile with net-snmp installed. The others can be installed from the second Slackware CD. Once you get all the proper dependencies installed the proper uri for HPLIP starts with hp:/whatever. For instance mine is: Using device: hp:/usb/PSC_1600_series?serial=MY4ADB4209L0 BTW, if you want I can point you to where my packages are, just PM me for the URL. HTH, MMYoung |
thanks.
ok. i have installed both net-snmp and qt-x11-3.3.5. trying to install kdelibs: Quote:
i appreciate the help, mate. digitalmojo17 ps. i tried to PM you earlier, but was having some problem accessing the page or something. i'll try again later. |
If you want you can left click on my screen name and you should get a drop down list to email me. That will be fine too and should work better.
Later, MMYoung |
bash-3.00# hp-toolbox
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/hp-toolbox", line 41, in ? import base.async_qt as async File "/usr/share/hplip/base/async_qt.py", line 85, in ? from qt import * ImportError: No module named qt I had the same problem on my suse 10 box. It means that the the the python-qt is looking in the wrong place for the libraries. This can occur after a system update eg, when u update from python2.3 to python2.4. They will still use the path of (suse) /usr/lib/python2.3/* So what you can do is copy all files in the (suse) /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ to the correct python Dir and edit the paths in the config files. Hope it helps |
