#256761 — Bullseye and hplip install

Here's the deal!  I've upgraded from buster to bullseye with no real issues, 
overall, with the exception of only one app so far.  hplip didn't run after the 
upgrade and I've uninstalled and re-installed hplip from the bullseye repo and 
it does install but doesn't work.  No warnings on the install but it won't run 
from the gui and launching from a terminal gives numerous errors.  I won't post 
those yet but a couple questions to start:
Has anyone installed hplip successfully and had it run properly?  and

Other than a normal install, what did you do to get it up and running?

On my system, CUPS printing works perfectly and I also have python 2 and 3 
installed but configured to use python3, 3.9 to be exact.  It appears that hplip 
is centered around python2.x and it's possible this is the problem.

Any info would be appreciated. I only use hplip to clean the printheads  and to 
check the ink levels.

thanks,
Tony

I have installed Bullseye a few month ago together with cups and
hplip. Python2.x is not present on my system.

Did you run apt-get autoremove? This could clean up the system and
helps to remove outdated stuff.

Kind regards,
Christoph

Christoph, thanks for the reply.  Autoremove was run successfully.  The bullseye version was installed with no errors but wouldn't run.  I tried several other versions from the repository, both  debian and generic versions each built with different configs.  No luck.  The very latest hplip version added to the repo this week doesn't give the 'wrong debian version' notice during the configuration and compiles and installs with no errors but still won't run.  I'll try again using the static lib configs.  I was thinking maybe a QT3/4/5 issue but the hp utilities won't run in non gui mode either.  If I uninstall the bullseye version and just reinstall it I'll get different errors for missing files that don't exist in the bullseye repos.  I suspect there's something that prevents those missing files from being configured and compiled by the installer.  Lastly, I installed the bullseye hplip version to a clean bullseye installation and it still didn't work for me.  ????

Thanks,
Tony

I have run hp-check just for curiosity. It reports a lot of missing
stuff. For me it is ok because I do not really need hplip.
Does hp-check runs on your system?
May be it gives some useful debug information.
If not I am running out of ideas.

Kind regards,
Christoph
