  • Using Fedora, had to re-install printer after upgrade to 39. None of the hplip-3.23.12.run style commands worked, failing with this error: ( I guess it installed OK on 38, notes indicate that hplip-3.22.6.run worked - File "/home/jcamaion/printer/hplip-3.23.12/base/g.py", line 131, in read self.conf.readfp(fp) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'ConfigParser' object has no attribute 'readfp'. Did you mean: 'read'? Got the idea that "hplip" itself might be a linux command after installation perhaps? Did a > dnf search hplip .... sure enough found it. Ran > dnf install hplip BINGO!!!! Ran perfectly. All of a sudden the printer was available even to apps that were already open!! No version info necessary. SO WHY IS THERE NO INFORMATION TO FACILITATE INSTALLATION IN THIS MANNER?????? Curious though system cannot find a command hplip: $ which hplip /usr/bin/which: no hplip in (/home/jcamaion/.local/bin:/home/jcamaion/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
  • File wouldn't run using mint 21.2. But this installed my old hp laserjet 1012: Open terminal Type: system-config-printer Press enter Worked!!!
  • Do not use it! I can be a malware! This software resets/changes (or maybe steals) the sudo (super) user password so you will not be able to login again! And when I launched the script uninstall.py I got a blinking terminal after reboot instead of a logon screen. OS: Manjaro 23 XFCE
  • Yet another great example of why you should stick to Windows or iOS. After 25+ years of Linux i start to think this habit of publishing software for the common-guy-customer is just blank dark-pattern'ish fashion. Imagine you're a worldwide leading IT-Company and outsource your driver to sourceforge.net LOL. I mean, there are drivers, just the whole HP Suite bullcrap denies the installation and therefore the usage of your printer with your Linux based OS. You dont even need this redundant Bullcrap. I need to root this crap and i need to install again some pythonX along other pythonX and here we go, f'ing with my nerves and f'ing with my system. This is why i switch to some non-free OS or just quit the hobby of hacking and fiddlin' around with open-source and free software. 1. chmod -x this 2. ./hpcrap.run 3. Enter your su (like everyone tells you everywhere every time all time not to do this) (just google how often sf got pwned) 4. Fiddle around with some python installing script, no big deal for JonDoe. 5. Remove your KDE-QT etc, because JonDoe knows nothing about it, he wants to use it. 6. Having one Linux-User less on this planet, because JonDoe is mad, he's using Win11 now. kkthxbye
  • The software downloaded, but it was not runnable until I noticed it was a script and chmoded it +x and executed it from a terminal session ./ It complained I was installing from root, so I obediently exited and backed out to my mortal shell and re-executed the script. It immediately recognized the subdirectory it had just created while being root, so I exited again and removed the root owned folder and began again. After that the install went fairly smooth. Eventually it asked me a vague question whether I wanted to reset, and I assumed they meant the printer, bad assumption. After my machine rebooted everything appeared to be ok. I entered an application and asked for a print. The print processed and queued then disappeared, but nothing ever came out on the printer and no errors were logged or alerted. That was fun.
