Version 3.20.6 fails to install on Fedora 32

Hi ,

Can you please install 3.20.9 hplip and confirm if you are facing the same issue?

Hi Shivani,
I installed hplip version 3.20.9 and subsequently 3.20.11 when it was released. However I have not been able to resolve the printing issue.

I have since upgraded Fedora version 33, however that should be the same as version 32!

I did spot that hp-check was unable to read the .ppd file. I've done a chmod 644 on the file and hp-check is no longer reporting issues.

When logged in to the CUPS manager it indicates a 'filter failed' issue.
I've included two artefacts below, 1. the output from hp-check and 2. the output from the cups log file:

I attach the output of hp-check:

[cmulloy@phobos cups] $ hp-check
/usr/bin/hp-check:685: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
  if 'getfacl' not in g and '' is not g and 'file' not in g:

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
