Hi Clive,

Did you try installing HPLIP through the Ubuntu Software Center (under the Applications menu)? The version of HPLIP is 3.10.6 (so it's a little older than the current one available from sourceforge) but it might resolve your issue more easily?

Sorry. Ignore my previous comment, it is not applicable.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.10.9/

Grab the run file here and run it in a terminal without sudo.
Should be fine

The printer required the latest set of drivers from HP.

These have been installed - device is now working.

The HP 2050 J510 was working nicely on Maverick until the last update. Now when I start xsane it says Segmentation fault. The same happens with flegita.

My problem was with getting an uptodate copy of the device drivers from HPLIP. I am afraid I have not used XSANE Frank so I am not much help to you Im afraid.
