Hi, Since upgrading to FC4 my hpssd will not start. During booting there is an error message. The same message is displayed when I type:
$ /etc/init.d/hplip restart rm: cannot remove `/var/run/hpiod.pid': Permission denied [FAILED]
Stopping hpssd: [FAILED] Starting hpiod: touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/hpiod': Permission denied Starting hpssd: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./hpssd.py", line 50, in ? from base import async, utils, database, status, pml, slp File "/usr/share/hplip/base/database.py", line 38, in ? import device File "/usr/share/hplip/base/device.py", line 39, in ? from prnt import pcl, ldl, cups File "/usr/share/hplip/prnt/cups.py", line 38, in ? import cupsext ImportError: No module named cupsext [FAILED]
I looked for the module "cupsext" and it seems to be there: $ locate cupsext /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cupsext.so /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/build /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3 /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/cupsext.so /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/build/temp.linux-i686-2.3 /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/cupsext.o /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/setup.py /home/peter/downloads/hplip-0.8.8/prnt/cupsext/cupsext.c
But perhaps it is not loaded. In FC3 hplip, hpssd and hpoj worked fine. I can still print, but print-configuration-settings are hard to change. My printer is a Hp psc-2410. Does someone know this error? Could someone give me a hist how to solve this? Peter.
