Qt4 is end-of-life since 2015. HPLIP can use Qt5, not sure why their installer even *tries* do use Qt4.

Also, HPLIP is part of openSUSE, you should probably use that one.

you have control of your system, provide access for <user> if you cannot figure another way, configure sudo

it was not Tw updates that broke, it was a script not intended for the Tw environment you maintain. you might as well be installing apps for debian or ..., they are NOT MEANT for your system.

fwiw, the openSUSE hplip build will always or nearly so, be less than HP's. openSUSE people do not see it until after HP releases it. they must make it fit Tw, ie: not break as you have experienced.

Please be so kind to make a test for me on your hp-toolbox: Go to the Printer Control Tab and as normal user try to Stop the printer. Mine stucks, despite I added the user to "lp" group. Which other settings are needed to permits the *user* having full management of the printer? That was the reason I used HPLIP script which I underline it was working perfectly untile few days ago.

you probably still have something amiss or existing from an incorrect package/repo

am I guessing right that you're using GNOME, maybe with the "TopIcons plus" extension? If yes, then this is an effect of GNOME having deprecated the systray. See e.g. https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2017/08/31/status-icons-and-gnome/, https://github.com/phocean/TopIcons-plus/issues/91, and lots of discussions on the web.

True. If you have a recent printer that needs 3.19, you probably need the "official" package. The reason that it's not yet shipped natively in openSUSE is that upstream hs started shipping a non-free library ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1785230), and dealing with that properly requires some efforts that nobody has spent yet.

Have you reported this on bugzilla? It could be this one: [Bug 1048177] "hplip device manager (hp-toolbox) stalls trying to start/stop printer". If it's that, knowing that the issue doesn't occur with the HP build is an intersting data point. Likewise, that fact that Patrick doesn't seem to have the same problem.

Thanks Martin

Dear Martin, I'm very pleased for your feedback! My default DE is XFCE, I used Gnome at the beginning, but now I prefer the clean and quick look and feel of XFCE. I'm using now the opensuse hplip because for me the "real issue" was that normal user couldn't manage printer control (start/stop). Informazioni per pacchetto hplip: --------------------------------- Repository : openSUSE:Factory Nome : hplip Versione : 3.18.6-2.1 Arch. : x86_64 Fornitore : openSUSE As I wrote on my previous message, I first tried by adding "user" to "lp" group but this has not resolved, so I decided to add "user" to "root" group and it has sorted out the issue. Despite opensuse hplip is working ok now, there are (at least there were) several Python scripts that you can run by console that are failing with different errors. Patrick has opened one or more bugs on bugzilla, regarding this particular point. Yes, I can confirm you that official HP hplip was not affected by the user printer management "usage restrictions".
