TomasHynk, thanks for the suggestion. I have run that file hplip-3.15.4.run and it appears to install OK (no error messages).
As well it manages to set up my HP 1102w. However it fails to setup my HP M1212nf MFP with the following message: error: Printer queue setup failed. Error : successful-ok-ignored-or- substituted-attributes So I guess you can say it's a partial work-around... I have filed a question on the HPLIP launchpad project about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422004 Title: pkservice.py crashed with AttributeError in __init__(): 'module' object has no attribute 'MainLoop' Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: Fix Released Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in hplip source package in Vivid: Triaged Bug description: Crash on startup ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: hplip-data 3.15.2-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-22.29-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.16.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CupsErrorLog: E [14/Feb/2015:19:56:52 +0100] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
