jazz41408, please open a separate bug for your microphone problem.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

I have created the HPLIP 3.10.6-0ubuntu1 package on 23 Jul 2010 on a Maverick box which did not get updated for some days. There the hp-toolbox worked perfectly. Then I updated the system and the crash happened. Seems to be caused by changes in packages coming in with the update (glib?).

I have reported this via apport as bug 610620. If this is the same, apport will soon mark it as a duplicate.

Can someone at HP look into this crash? Needs an up-to-date Maverick.

Hplip is currently working fine. The updates that were sent out this morning about 10 am this morning.

[Linuxexperte (andrea-koeth)]

yes, I can confirm that hplip-gui has come back to working. It sems, that some of the dependencies have changed. But I am glad, that this useful tool works again. Thanks for this work and please keep up this package in Ubuntu.
especially for beginners, this is a very easy way to install hp-printers, otherwise than using gnome-config-printer or something like that.
I also hope, that this tool will be integrated into further Ubuntu-distros. It would be an annoying fact, if such a helpful tool would be dropped.

Greetings
