Sorry but I have another newbie question.

I installed HPLIP using the command line method, but ended up with the common GyPO error. Sad to say in trying to correct the issue I ended up with a bigger mess.

After doing some research I found that I missing some Python dependences (more than one) and I also reference to using Synaptic or the Software center

Question 1) Which way is the best installation better?

Question 2) If were to use Synaptic would it take care of this dependence and only others that may exist?

  • Have you seen [Which is the best way to install new hplip versions?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/10082/which-is-the-best-way-to-install-new-hplip-versions) and [How can I easily install missing hplip dependencies?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/110580/how-can-i-easily-install-missing-hplip-dependencies) – bain May 14 '14 at 17:21
  • What is the common GyPo error? A search found nothing. What error do you actually get? – bain May 14 '14 at 17:22
  • Search on "PyOS_InputHook is not available for interactive use of PyGTK" – gmebye May 14 '14 at 17:32
  • Bain, Yes I did, but the link to the HP site came up as Spanish (I think) – gmebye May 14 '14 at 17:33
  • Try http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install.html – bain May 14 '14 at 17:34
  • Bain, Your link is the same one I used that has the PyOS error. Which I just noticed I had a typo in my original post – gmebye May 14 '14 at 18:41

I can tell you from my experience you can just install it from the Software Centre (look for hplip package) without so many annoying workarounds
