Thanks to all for getting this patch in place. The bug appears to be resolved.
A few comments: I installed hplip-3.15.4.run as per the conversation above with TomasHynk. When this fix was released, I wanted to uninstall what hplip-3.15.4 installed and revert to the standard Ubuntu stack. This http://hplipopensource.com/node/188 explains how to uninstall. I followed it exactly and then reinstalled hplip via synaptic. However it seems that the files in /usr/share/hplip and /etc/hp were removed by the uninstall process given above and not re-installed by synaptic. So I reinstalled hplip-3.15.4, made sure everything was working, then deleted my two printers, uninstalled it again as per the instructions above EXCEPT I did not do the sudo rm's, and then installed hplip via apt-get. But hp-setup does report that it is ver. 3.15.2 so I am most of the way there. As I said, things now seem to be working, though I'm not completely convinced I have fully reverted! Thanks again to Till and others who got the show back on the road. -- 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 Committed Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in hplip source package in Vivid: Fix Committed Bug description: If an HP printer needs HPLIP with HP's proprietary plug-in (firmware files for printers, proprietary driver code pieces for printing and/or scanning) the automatically initiated installation of the plug-in fails and causes crash reports, leading to crash report pop-ups and non-working printing and scanning functionality. The problem is caused by the switchover from Python2 to Python3 in Vivid, especially also that the Python3 executable is named "python3" and not "python". If the crash happens shortly before shutdown or reboot the pop-up can appear right after log-in. [Impact] All Vivid users who use a printer or multi-function device which needs HP's proprietary plug-in get crash pop-ups and their devices will not completely work or not work at all. [Test Case] Connect an HP printer or multi-function device which needs the plug-in (for which models see this bug report and the numerous duplicates) and set it up. As soon as the plug-in gets downloaded and installed, crash reports pop up, and the devices functionality which needs the plug-in will not work as plug-in installation does not complete. The proposed package solves the problem. To test without having an appropriate printer, simply run the command hp-plugin in a terminal window. With the current package it will fail as mentioned, with the proposed package plug-in installation will succeed. [Regression Potential] Very low. The patch is trivial and it affects only users who need the plug-in. All users of other HP printers or non-HP printers are not affected.
