When exactly do you get this eror message?
I.e. what exactly do you do before the message shows up?

The xml.parsers.expat module is a Python interface
to the Expat non-validating XML parser.

In openSUSE 10.3 which I currently use it is provided
in the "pyxml" RPM package.

Such a package is also provided for SLES10 but currently
I don't know if the "pyxml" package for SLES10 is sufficiently
up-to-date for the newest HPLIP.

By the way:
How did you install HPLIP?
Compiled from source or a downloaded RPM?
If the latter from where did you download it?

Do you know about
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/
Note that this packages are

As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer
center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem.

Can you help with this problem?
