Downloaded and ran the current version installer (3.13...) and encountered
no errors. I had difficulty with some other issues:
- I needed a URL to the download file to use with wget, since the
installation was performed over ssh. Sourceforge seems to make this link
retrieval difficult.
- There has been a long-standing naming issue where documentation says
the filename is hplip.run, but the actual file is hplip.bin, if I am
remembering correctly.
- Although I selected the installation option to remove the old version
and install the new one, I noticed that "dpkg -l hplip" returned the same
version number after installation. Maybe the remove step does not do
"apt-get purge hplip"?
