After receiving the previous message it occurred to me to try to install python2.6-dev. I did so successfully. I then ran your command once again; python-dev_2.6.6-13~bpo60+1 was this time successfully installed. Next was the smoke test; I ran command "sh hplip-3.14.4.run". It ran through successfully all the steps except one; it could not install package cupsys-bsd because that package does not exist in Squeeze -- it is succeeded by cups-bsd. When hplip-3.14.4.run got to the "Printer setup" section it returned the message "error: hp-setup failed. Please run hp-setup manually" and closed down. So I dutifully ran hp-setup. It produced a window entitled "Smart Install Device(s) detected". The text in the window read as follows. > Smart install is enabled in "HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw" > devices. Do you want to download and disable smart install to > perform device functionalities? I was given two options "Download and disable" and "Cancel". The former was enclosed in a double box, presumably to indicate that that option is the preferred one. Not knowing what anything about "smart install" I first selected "cancel". I then got another error message: "error: Failed to disable smart install. Please refer link 'http://hplipopensource.com/node/367' for more information." At this point I went back to the previous window and chose the other option -- to disable smart install. As soon as I had done so another message appeared: 'Searching... (bus=usb, search=(None), desc=0) Receiving digital keys: su - -c "/usr/bin/gpg --no-permission-warning - --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xA59047B9"' Then the counter -- a succession of -\/|\/- symbols churning around in the same place -- started. After 1.5 hours of such churning I thought it was high time to exit from "hp-setup" and did so. Any further suggestions, anyone, on how to activate this printer/scanner/fax machine, etc.?
