Can not install HP-PLUGIN

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello,

I installed Leap 15.3 with printer connected (HP-Laserjet1102p), and printer also was installed during Leap installing. But hp plugin can not be installed: using command line

 hp-plugin -i

it says that can not download it. Using YaST it cannot access; using select downloaded bin file it can not launch location in computer where bin file stored. I wanted to unpack bin file thinking it would be unpacked in the place it must be stored, but it was extracted in the folder I downloaded it. I deleted all extracted files from theh bin file.

I deleted and re-added printer via YaST, installed via console, but hp-plugin can not be installed.

Is there anything I can do? Everything were fine on 15.2

Thank you for answering my questions.

And I don’t know how to solve it?

Thank you for answering my questions.

Have you installed:

python3-dbus-python >= 0.80
python3-gobject
python3-qt5
5

No. Those packages are not present in YaST list of either installed or not-installed packages.

Hi
Don’t forget the period after the -p to indicate the directory your in.

Should be there:

First you have 2 Repos to delete, Packman and OSS are double:

zypper rr 4 6

Install the python packages:

zypper in -f python3-dbus-python python3-gobject python3-qt5

Now try hplip-plugin once more.

10

And do not forget the point after -p:

hp-plugin -i -p .
11

Now I ve got this:

Can you delete the both downloaded files, rename the hidden directory ~/.hplip
and start once more with the commands posted in the thread by malcolmlewis ?
Execute the commands as User, not root.

I renamed .hplip to hplip1

And then, I did and got this:

As root:

zypper in -f hplip
15

Still not works.

16

Have you used pip for getting python libs?
Do you download the hp-plugins as root?

17

I am not sure I understand much of the details here, but I see he did

zlatic@dhcppc9:~> hp-plugin -i -p

which neither has the . you specially instructed him to use, nor is it done as root.

Hello,

Now I did again, as root. This is what I ve got::

I don’t want this to seems like annoying: I didn’t succeeded to instal my HP 1102p and I want to ask: Does HPLIP supports HP1102p still? Thank you for anwering my questions.
