[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#516403: hplip: hp-scan returns a traceback on an error

[Andrew Ruthven]

Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.12-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

hp-scan attempts to use reportError but this traceback is returned:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-scan", line 788, in <module>
    sane.reportError(e)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'reportError'

This is reprocible with my HP M1522nf if the /usr/lib/libhpmud.so
file is missing.  I'd expect an error message about not being able
to find a file (rather than having to dig through strace output).

Cheers!

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.                                    
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro    
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball   
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.                      
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode    
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
