Hi

I got cups and hplip by adding IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "python3-distro cups ghostscript cups-filters hplip"  in local.conf.

but when I run hp-check, there are some errors about missing required dependencies :

 

root@STM32MP1:~# hp-check
/usr/bin/hp-check:685: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
 if 'getfacl' not in g and '' is not g and 'file' not in g:

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied 
tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully 
compile HPLIP. 
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, 
.rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to 
successfully run. 
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the 
above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies). 

Check types: 
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies 
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time) 
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies 
d. [All are run-time checks]

    Hi @macrobert 

    The hplip package misses a dependency on the package python3-dbus. Since this post https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mpus-products/stm32mp157-hplip-support/td-p/196923 , the package hplip is provided into the OpenSTLinux distribution with the missing dependency.

    Could you make a try by adding python3-dbus into your image please?

    Best regards

    hi  @Jean-Marc B 
    Is there any support?

    Hi @macrobert 

    there are a lot of dependencies not met. Some of them are not provided by our package repository (*-dev packages for example).

    I would suggest to work from a Distribution Package (see https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32MP1_Distribution_Package) and install a local package repository (see https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Package_repository_for_OpenSTLinux_distribution#How_to_activate_a_local_package_repository).

    Then you will be able to install the missing packages from your own repository with the apt-get install command.

    Best regards
