HPLIP

need libjpeg62-dev and i am so new

Asked by Anita Jensen

ubuntu 8.10 intrepid
trying to install hplib-2.8.12.run

everything went great up until it said:

error: A required dependency 'libjpeg (libjpeg - JPEG library)' is still missing.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency.
error: Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.

i know that it is available, I think through canonical(sp? sister watching, I'm late)

can someone tell me in detail, how to get it and install it? yes i know to use sudo and the terminal.

Thank you

Anita,

Try running:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

and then run the installer again. We've tested the installer on 8.10 recently so I'm not sure how come you are getting this error. But it should fix it.

Work ok?

Thanks.

Aaron

Try running

sudo apt-get update

and then

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

I've verified that the package is in the Ubuntu 8.10 software repos. You may need to turn on all of the repositories.

Click:

System -> Admin -> Software Sources

Then put check marks in all of the "Downloadable from Internet"

Then click close, then "reload" or run sudo apt-get update

and then again run:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

And start the HPLIP install again and you should be good to go.

And before you do this what printer are you wanting to use anyway? It might already be supported in Ubuntu.

Try running:

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui

then to configure the printer run:

sudo hp-setup

Hope this helps.
