hp-systray problem
 

I recently upgraded to opensuse 12.2. I have hplip installed with the following packages:

rpm -qa |grep hplip
hplip-sane-3.12.10-59.1.x86_64
hplip-3.12.10-59.1.x86_64
hplip-hpijs-3.12.10-59.1.x86_64

python-2.7.3-3.6.1.x86_64 is installed

I'm running kde 4.9 as the DE.

The HP Device Manager does not bring up the gui any more. When I monitor the command line, I see the following (python?) errors. Does anyone else have the same problem and/or a fix?

You need the GUI, hp-toolbox. It's often a separate package.

In Debian, that package is called hplip-gui; I don't know what it is called in rpm-world.

An update - hplip-3.12.10a (available today at opensuse Printing) solved the problem.
