HPLIP autoinstal script error with Linux Mint

[Mike Waters]

I think the screen message says it all, your install website does claim that Linux Mint 12 IS supported!

Manual install works fine, but it is very tedious!

Hi Mike Waters,

Thank you for reporting the issue.

In current build for Linux mint, when user installs using auto installation, user will be prompted error message saying like "all dependencies may not be installed. Do you want to continue installation?".
If user press "y'. then auto installation will be successful.

We fixed this issue not to show error message and it will be released in next HPLIP release.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
