Comment 1 for bug 990158

Hi,

   There are lots of dependency missing which is shown by 'hp-check'. Request you to install the latest hplip from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html and follow the instructions.

 Parallel port support in HPLIP has been made passive, hence you need to make a custom build.

- After installation is done, go to the folder (e.g. ~/Downloads/hplip-3.12.4)
- Run in terminal :
    $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-pp-build
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

 - After this, connect the printer and run in teminal 'hp-setup'.

Hope your problem will be solved. If you still find any issue, do let us know.
