I Have a new 20" IMac, OS X, v10.4, with which I would like to use my
faithful HP D135xi do-all printer, connected via my local Ethernet
network. The Mac drivers supplied by HP do not let me take advantage of
many of the features I was able to use with my Windows machine. After
some searching I found the HPLIP project which I presume will let me
access most of the features from within my Mac apps.
I unsuccessfully tried to load HPLIP on my machine trying both the
hplip-1.6.10.run installer and the manual load method, both on the
Terminal application and the X11 application.
With the hplip-1.6.10.run installer, after the extraction, I get:
"Initializing...
ps: comm: keyword not found
ps: no valid keywords
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./install.py", line 464, in ?
distro, distro_version = getDistro()
File "/Users/russ/hplip-1.6.10/base/distros.py", line 68, in getDistro
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/issue' "
Using the manual method, I get as far as Step 8 of the third step; It
does its checking thing and finishes with:
"configure: error: cannot find libusb support"
With step 9, I enter the 'make " command as instructed and get :
"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
I tried going farther, to no avail.
I am a relative newbie to all of this. Is there something I'm missing
here, or not doing correctly? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Russ Fischer
