Your problem was that the printerĀ“s firmware did not get installed properly with the hp-plugin utility. Downloading and verifying the digital signature worked, but the graphical user interface of hp-plugin had a bad interference with ibus. ibus is an input method infrastructure for non-latin-character languages. The firmware installation worked when you used the version of hp-plugin without graphical user interface ("hp- plugin -i").
Can anyone at HP check this? Note that the user works under Russian locale, probably under US English locale this bug will not appear. ** Also affects: ibus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- The HP 1018 printer is not supported in Ubuntu 8.10, 9.10. In 10.04 supported but not work "out of the box". https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329898 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
