[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#520938: I got it working now.

[Markus Schaber]

Hi,

I just wanted to write you that the bug still is there, but
experimented some more, using -v, strace, and /var/log/syslog.

Apart from using hp-setup and hp-plugin, one needs to manually install
everything hp-check tells one, plus python-qt4 and  libhpmud-dev (which
contains  libhpmud.so), and now it seems to work.

Well. a -dev package containing a .so, that seems a WTF on its own,
right?

The good thing is that it is working now. The bad thing is that I
cannot remember the exact steps. But I've got a second machine where it
did not work before, so I might have enough time to try to reproduce
the steps and tell you - as I don't have to reboot into windows simply
for scanning, which saves me some time.

Thanks for your patience,
Markus
