Hi, Similar problem on Debian 10.5 buster (see below). I do not understand how to apply shivani1708's suggestion (python3-dbus is already installed and many python or python3 qt5 packages are already installed). Yours MISSING DEPENDENCIES -------------------- Following dependencies are not installed. HPLIP will not work if all REQUIRED dependencies are not installed and some of the HPLIP features will not work if OPTIONAL dependencies are not installed. Package-Name Component Required/Optional pyqt5-dbus gui_qt5 OPTIONAL pyqt4-dbus gui_qt4 REQUIRED pyqt5 gui_qt5 REQUIRED Do you want to install these missing dependencies (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES ------------------------------------- note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection. warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: pyqt4-dbus (PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt4) warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: pyqt5 (PyQt 5- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x)) INSTALL MISSING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ------------------------------------- note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection. warning: Missing OPTIONAL dependency for option 'gui_qt5': pyqt5-dbus (PyQt 5 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt5) CHECKING FOR NETWORK CONNECTION ------------------------------- Network connection present.
