Installation error (HPLIP 3.19.11) in Raspbian Buster 10.1

Asked by Sergio Ciordia

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install HPLIP v3.19.11 in a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Buster 10.1. When I run the installation I have problems to install pyqt4-dbus and pyqt4 and I don't enable GUI Qt4 to avoid the errors but I finish with the same problem: "error: 'make' command failed with status code 2".

I need to install HPLIP to setup a HP M607 Printer. Would it be possible to get only the PPD file to install this printer?

Could anybody help me, please?. I have included below the command line output.

Thank you very much.

Sergio

Why? What does your OS lack?

Hi Brian,

I don't understand your questions. I'm using Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Buster and I want to install my HP Laserjet M607 Printer but the only way is installing HPLIP. When I run HPLIP installation the only dependencies that I need are:

- pyqt5 (PyQt 5- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))
- pyqt5-dbus (PyQt 5 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt5)

In principle these dependencies are installed with HPLIP but every time I run the installation it tells me that you have to install them so I'm afraid they are not installed correctly. I don't know how to install them manually.

Anyway the installation error really occurs when I get to the step of "Running 'make'" as you can see in my previous email. I get this error: "error: 'make' command failed with status code 2" and the installation stops. I don't know where the problem is but I can't get through that step. Could you help me, please?.

Thank you very much.

Sergio

Hello Sergio,

> I need to install HPLIP to setup a HP M607 Printer.

Is this the HP LaserJet Enterprise m607n (or m607dn)? If so, I wondered
why you needed HPLIP v3.19.11 when buster provides all that you require.
One technique is at

  https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSQuickPrintQueues

I would recommend you go for this for printing as it avoids HPLIP bugs and
is future-proof.

> Would it be possible to get only the PPD file to install this printer?

Definitely. All you have to have is printer-driver-postscript-hp. I would use
lpadmin to set up a queue:

Hi brian,

thanks for your help. Finally I have installed cups and I get the PPD file to my printer from archlinux website: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/hplip/

Then I added a new printer in cups and it is working perfectly since this afternoon.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Sergio
