Bug Description
I'm using Lubuntu 12.10 (but this should also apply for all *buntu distros).
HPLIP's online documentation is out-of-date, as shown here:
http://
...see step 2, as shown there. These were the dependancies I had to install (which differs slightly from that which is recommended on the webpage), before installing HPLIP 3.13.3 from tarball:
sudo apt-get install --assume-yes libcups2 cups libcups2-dev cups-bsd cups-client libcupsimage2-dev libdbus-1-dev build-essential ghostscript openssl libjpeg-dev libsnmp-dev libtool libusb-1.0-0-dev wget python-imaging policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome python-qt4 python-qt4-dbus python-dbus python-gobject python-dev python-notify python python-reportlab libsane libsane-dev sane-utils xsane libtiff-dev libjpeg8-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev
Everything went smoothly once these dependancies could be installed (resulting in no package conflicts).
Basically, as of 12.10, the package libjpeg62-dev had been renamed to libjpeg-dev, and I also had to install libtiff-dev, libjpeg8-dev, and libjpeg-turbo8-dev
HPLIP folks, would you please update the above webpage, to reflect the correct dependancies for all *buntu 12.10?
