Comment 8 for bug 391570

Just wanted to confirm, that I too still have the same problem with hplip 3.9.8. Currently I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3.2.
At the moment I'm still on hplip 3.9.4b.
Didn't do any further investigation so far, due to lack of time and because hplip 3.9.4b is working fine for me. This issue might very well be related to the fact that I'm running not the KDE/QT version originally delivered with Jaunty, but a more recent version from the backports repository.

I'll try if I can find the time to do a clean Kubuntu 9.04 install in VMWare, check if hplip > 3.9.4b is running there and then adding the non-standard stuff from backports which I currently have installed, to see if hp-systray is breaking.

Though I'll upgrade to Kubuntu 9.10 anyway once it's available. So first I will check if this is solving the problem.
