hp-toolbox version check broken

[Henk Jan]

Running the hp-toolbox of hplib 3.12.9 result in the following Fatal error.

\Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-toolbox", line 257, in <module>
    toolbox = DevMgr5(__version__, device_uri, None)
  File "/usr/share/hplip/ui4/devmgr5.py", line 204, in __init__
    if not utils.Is_HPLIP_older_version( installed_version, self.user_settings.latest_available_version):
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 1927, in Is_HPLIP_older_version
    if(int(installed_array[cnt]) < int(available_array[cnt])):
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: "10a Public Release</a><br />')"

It seems that the version check can not handle the 'a' in the latest release.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue in HPLIP. The fix for this issue is provided in the latest release of HPLIP. Please Download and install the latest HPLIP release from:
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html (automatic) or
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/index.html (manual, if automatic does not work)

=> run "hp-check --fix" command in the terminal if manual installation is done

=> Reconfigure print queue with the commands in the terminal mentioned below.
       => system-config-printer (remove all print queues)
      => su -c "hp-plugin" (This will download right plugin)
       => hp-setup (It should not be run in a root mode. This command is adding print queue, make sure you select ppd name having "-ps" or "hpcups" substring)
=>Try printing now.

Hi Henk,

Please download the latest hplip-3.12.10a.run file from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html and install it by running command "sh hplip-3.12.10a.run" in the terminal.

This issue has been resolved in hplip 3.12.10a version

Thanks,
Goutam

I have rebuild the slackware package from the hplip-3.12.10a sources, installed the package
 and it works again.
