Linux. if you have a Jaunty Desktop-CD-only environment, which means that no Qt packages and no hplip-gui package is installed. Do all non-GUI functions work, like checking ink levels with hp-levels, sending faxes via command line with hp-sendfax via command line, ...

I have found out that on a system with python-qt4-dbus not installed (but python-qt4 installed) all utilities except hp-toolbox can be started in GUI mode.

The hplip-gui package requires both python-qt4 and python-qt4-dbus in its dependencies.

The systray patch is not needed any more as Qt4 is the default now, so forcing use of Qt4 with "--qt4" should not be needed any more.

Testing:

Please test whether all non-GUI functionality is working on a pure Desktop CD (live CD of Jaunty alpha 5 with only the HPLIP packages updated): hp-levels, hp-sendfax, ... If something does not work, did it work with the HPLIP 2.8.12 packages? If there are no regressions against the 2.8.12 package we are OK.

Install hplip-gui (which pulls the mentioned two python-qt4 packages). Do all GUI tools now work with their GUIs?
