HPLIP is still essentially a Qt3 application. hp-systray can OPTIONALLY use Qt4... I did this because there is a system tray icon class in Qt4, and my Qt3 system tray code is imperfect (I back ported Trolltech's Qt4 code, and some things didn't translate completely). If a user has trouble getting the Qt3 version of hp-systray to properly go into the system tray, the Qt4 version can be run with a --qt4 parameter (and, there have been users that this has worked for). There is no REQUIREMENT for Qt4 in HPLIP, though.<br>

We should also inform the upstream maintainers. I have CCed them to this e-mail.<br>
<br>
David, Don, can you check this Qt3/Qt4 issue? Thanks.<br>

Dear python-qt4 dudes,<br>
<br>
I'm the hplip maintainer and I'm having an issue with the transition of hplip from python-qt3 to python-qt4, and need some assistance as I'm not that up to speed with python.<br>
<br>
In short hplip should now be using python-qt4, but for some reason it still calls some elements of python-qt3 as well as python-qt4.<br>
<br>
What have I done wrong?<br>
<br>

Package: hplip<br>
Version: 2.8.4-1<br>
<br>
When I try to launch /usr/bin/hp-toolbox (included in hplip) the<br>
program doesn't start and the following get's printed in the terminal:<br>
<br>

<br>
Likewise when I try to "launch HPLIP Fax Utility" (sh -c<br>
'STARTED_FROM_MENU=yes /usr/bin/hp-sendfax') a window appears which<br>
informs me I should install python-qt3<br>
<br>
After installing python-qt3 manually the problem is resolved.<br>
