Instalator hangs after entering sudoer password

Ubuntu Mate 15.10 - same problem

32bit

I found the solution for yourself:
1. download http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/hplip/hplip/3.15.11/hplip-3.15.11.tar.gz
2. reading how to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html
3. run "hp-check"
4. install requerements hp-check:
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-notify python-reportlab python-imaging
5. :D

Here the same porblem ( see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1517494 ).
I will try the solution, which Keha proposed and will give feedback.

Manually installing, step 4 ( Configure HPLIP for installation with ./configure ...... ) stops with error: "configure: error: cannot find python-devel support"

Installing the package python-dev helps.

Manually compiling & installing printing driver version 3.5.11 works fine, if you deinstall the hplip related Ubuntu packages, which are in conflict withe the manuall installation. Deinstalling the follwong packages helped me:

- libsane-hpaio
- hplip-gui
- hplip-data
- libhpmud0

The problem is installing hp-plugin. Install script is buggy. This here helped me (ubuntu 15.10 64-bit, hplip 3.5.11):

It's rule: uninstall old packages programs, before compiling new version program...

That's right Keha, but first you have to identify all the packages which has to be uninstalled... ;-)

Here the same. My Hplip 3.5.7, 3.5.11 also not helps

We are working on the fix. While we work on it please find the work around provided by Sergey here https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1521006.

We apologize for the inconvenience

Can someone help me by providing the debug message output from the below command:

sh hplip-3.15.11-plugin.run - - -ig

You can download the file hplip-3.15.11-plugin.run from here https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.15.11-plugin.run and run the above command and paste the output here.

This will help us to fix the issue in the code.

Thanks,
goutam

This issue is now fixed in hplip-3.16.2. Please install the same from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html
