hal-cups-utils is deprecated due to the fact that HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) got discontinued. The package will soon get removed and system-config-printer will include a udev-based solution for Plug'n'Print (automatic print queue setup) and automatic disabling and re-enabling print queues when the printer gets disconnected and reconnected.
For the time being please try the following: sudo apt-get install python-dbus Most probably python-dbus is already installed as it is used by many othert packages, like system-config-printer for example. ** Changed in: hal-cups-utils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal_lpadmin: ImportError: No module named dbus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
