setup my HP officejet 5610 by
Code:
su
hp-setup
as a normal user run thru menu or icon hp-toolbox has a greyed out tab for supplies
2) running icon with enabled terminal gives error
error: Unable to load dbus - Automatic status updates in HPLIP Device Manager will be disabled
3) looking on net suggests you need python-dbus but according to Kpackage its already installed
4) Running thru a terminal as a normal user the command

7) Going back to running as a normal user hp-toolbox as a desktop icon with inside a terminal...to copy and paste error....somehow at somestage...I have been unable to repeat it...it got an error saying
/usr/share/hplip/ui/devmrg4.py error line 698 in ThreadUpdate
but I have no line numbers that get to that high
8
as root running siduxcc and going into services I can see
dbus
is currently running
running pstree...I can see service
dbus-launch
is running
In Summary
I can not get supplies of ink levels to show in hp-toolbox
I can get it running a command in terminal...hmmm
Any clues as to how to solve this? |
