I fixed the error that you received by the installer for the next release. Just to reiterate what Aaron said, HPLIP may be able to work on Mac OS X (with some fiddling), but the installer was never written to or tested on Mac. I would not expect it to be much help on that platform. I would recommend that you follow the manual steps outlined in our installation instructions with any modifications necessary based on info that you find in the mailing list archive. One thing is for sure, USB will not work on the Mac with HPLIP out-of the-box. There is a 3rd party patch available, but we have not accepted it into our codebase yet.
Thanks,
Don

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
