I modified my hplip package based on that document and am building a 3.10.6 update package as we speak. I noticed that --enable-dbus-build is set, but I think it might be better to disable it. Now people get the following error due to dbus incompatiblities: error: Unable to load dbus - Automatic status updates in HPLIP Device Manager will be disabled. I've looked into the problem, but only a dbus update could fix the issue at hand :-/ Everything else works for me without a problem though. -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
