hp-setup and other utils by hp require python2 and python-gobject and python-dbus

Debian

hp-setup -i or hp-plugin -i will not work because python-gobject is not installed.

aptitude python-gobject

Fixed my issues.

Notes

Archlinux

In addition to installing hplip you also have to install dbus-python and python-gobject

You also need to link /usr/bin/python to python two instead of 3. Though make sure to link it back when the setup is complete.

rm /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

Do the setup/plugin build.

rm /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

hp-setup

Note: Openprinting is back up.

The openprinting.org is down. This means that running hp-setup will fail as it cannot download the plugin. While it will be up eventually I have chosen to mirror the plugin for a while. This is the version that works with the current Debian release.

md5sum does not match what is located @ http://hplip.sourceforge.net/plugin.conf

Connecting to HPLIP printer on Server via client cups

I found that

BrowsePoll server.name.or.ip

and

Adding the printer with https instead of ipp and using RAW as a driver

worked awsome.
