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).

I re-installed hp-lip but same behavior as before

I found a similar problem description here: http://bugs.calibre-ebook.com/ticket/4612.

I downgraded python-sip-4.10-36.1.i586 to python-sip-4.9.1-1.1.1.i586, now hp-lip is working again.

Thank you for your help,
Andreas
