Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.4-1

When I try to launch /usr/bin/hp-toolbox (included in hplip) the
program doesn't start and the following get's printed in the terminal:

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 2.8.4)
HP Device Manager ver. 13.1

error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
warning: Qt/PyQt initialization failed.
error: hp-toolbox requires GUI support. Exiting.

Likewise when I try to "launch HPLIP Fax Utility" (sh -c
'STARTED_FROM_MENU=yes /usr/bin/hp-sendfax') a window appears which
informs me I should install python-qt3

After installing python-qt3 manually the problem is resolved.
