*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1422004 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422004
The does not appear to be a duplicate to me - the issue is not one of Cups crashing with HP printers as per #1422004 , but is one where you are unable to install the driver to begin with. How is that a duplicate? This is still an issue with a brand-new updated 14.04 LTS server. It claims that python-dbus and python-gobject aren't installed and fails to copy the driver over, despite those packages being installed. -- 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/1430561 Title: hp-plugin crashes with error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed Status in HPLIP: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When trying to configure an HP LaserJet P1102w, when running hp-plugin I get errors and can not proceed: nessita@miro:~$ hp-plugin error: Unable to locate models.dat file HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.15.2) Plugin Download and Install Utility ver. 2.1 Copyright (c) 2001-15 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
