Package: hplip Version: 2.8.6.b-4 Severity: normal I have started to see these log messages on my headless print server:
vizier HP_LaserJet_3052?ip=192.168.14.65: prnt/backend/hp.c 528: dBus Connection Error (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)! vizier HP_LaserJet_3052?ip=192.168.14.65: prnt/backend/hp.c 511: dbus message send failed! vizier HP_LaserJet_3052?ip=192.168.14.65: prnt/backend/hp.c 511: dbus message send failed! I don't have dbus installed because I don't need it. Nor does hplip need it, as far as I can tell, this is only a feature to integrate better with the desktop. I think it would be good to degrade these messages and refrain from the use of words like error and failure to not trip logcheck and similar tools. After all, there was no error and the page printed fine. Maybe hplip could test if dbus is installed and only then report errors on failure, but otherwise just stay silent about anything dbus-related, if the local system clearly does not support dbus and as long as dbus is not essential for printing and core operation?
