HPLIP toolbox requires PyQT

[Will]

Binary package hint: hplip

Using the Ubuntu 7.04 live CD run System > Preferences > HPLIP Toolbox. The application fails to load and when run under a terminal it outputs the error:

error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
error: PyQt/Qt initialization error. Please check install of PyQt/Qt and try again.

I checked out the launcher for this and looked at some other bug reports and noticed that there are two almost identical launchers for this application. One is set to be not visible while the other is set to not be visible in KDE.

/usr/share/applications/hplip.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=HPLIP Toolbox
GenericName=Printer Toolbox
Comment=HP Printing System Control Center
Exec=/usr/bin/hp-toolbox
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/hp-logo.xpm
Categories=Application;Settings;
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
NotShowIn=KDE;

/usr/share/applications/hp-toolbox.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=HPLIP Toolbox
GenericName=Printer Toolbox
Comment=HP Printing System Control Center
Exec=/usr/bin/hp-toolbox
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/hp-logo.xpm

Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
NoDisplay=true

Maybe these could be merged into a single launcher that is either not visible or has an install-on-demand type feature?
