Debian Stretch (9.0 , 9.1) not supported by hplip yet...

[Nick B]

Debian 9 was released more than 3 months ago, and no hplip 3.17.x version supports it yet. Did someone forget to test hplip on Debian 9 ? I tried a couple different 3.17.x .run installs and they all failed. When will debian 9 be supported on the hplip ?

I've found this related question: https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/452076.
it seems that the main problem is that the installer points at two "obsolete" packages, pyqt4-dbus and pyqt4, that know are called python-qt4-dbus and python-qt4. the solution cited in the link is to rewrite the code so the new version works. Accordingly to the author of the solution, this was working fine with debian 8.8. I don't know if it's still valid for 9.1 (i've tried to, but every time I try to run hplip-3.17.9.run it rewrite every file...).

Hi,

Debian 9.1 is supported in the 3.17.10 release, Please download the hplip-3.17.10.run file and use.

hplip 3.17.11 and 3.18.3 do not work with Debian 9 AGAIN. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
hplip 3.17.10 works...

The same shit all over, get serious:
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4-dbus (PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt4)' is still missing.
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))' is still missing.

There is no "bug reopened" status on launchpad, how come?

[Nick B (hplipsox)]

To be more precise, the OS is Debian 9.3, not 9.0 or 9.1
