I am dual booting my Windows 10 laptop and I chose the Linux Mint 19.3 distro to run alongside windows with the dual boot option. When I boot into Linux I'm not having any success connecting to my USB printer which is a LaserJet M1212nf MFP and that printer is supported by HP. I've got hplip 3.17.10 and hplip-gui 3.17.10 installed and I also ran hp-plugin to install the plugin. When I run hp-setup from the command line I select USB on page one and then when I click on Next I get a "No devices found" message. Just for good measure I plugged in my usb printer before running hp-setup. Update: I've tried running hplip.3.20.5.run and I'm getting this message: Following dependencies are not installed. HPLIP will not work if all REQUIRED dependencies are not installed and some of the HPLIP features will not work if OPTIONAL dependencies are not installed. Package-Name Component Required/Optional xsane scan OPTIONAL python3-notify2 gui_qt5 OPTIONAL python3-pyqt4-dbus gui_qt4 OPTIONAL python3-pyqt4 gui_qt4 REQUIRED python3-pyqt5-dbus gui_qt5 OPTIONAL python3-pyqt5 gui_qt5 REQUIRED python3-dbus fax REQUIRED python3-reportlab fax OPTIONAL Do you want to install these missing dependencies (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? y INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES ------------------------------------- note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection. warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: python3-pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x)) warning: This installer cannot install 'python3-pyqt4' for your distro/OS and/or version. error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer. I checked to see if I have python3-pyqt4 installed and it looks like I do: (base) david@david-Inspiron-3520:~/Downloads$ dpkg -l | grep python3-pyqt4 ii python3-pyqt4 4.12.1+dfsg-2 amd64 Python3 bindings for Qt4 Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks, David
