HP 6980 Install issues

You must run the file like this:

ray@Ray-desktop:~$ sh ./hplip-1.2.8.7.run

the ./ is required so that sh will find the file.

seriously need help now, GF is so pissed she cant print!

HPLIP comes with Ubuntu Hardy.

You could try running:

sudo apt-get install python-qt3

and then to configure the printer:

sudo hp-setup

Hope this helps.
