Description:   Opened: 2008-05-21 21:14 0000 
Starting with net-print/hplip-2.8.5 hp-systray replaces /etc/init.d/hplip
startup script. When trying to launch it as a normal user, I get

error: Qt3 version of hp-systray requires python-ctypes module. Exiting!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-print/hplip-2.8.5
2. hp-systray
Actual Results:  
error: Qt3 version of hp-systray requires python-ctypes module. Exiting!


Expected Results:  
An HP icon appearing in the systray (of KDE in my case)

Emerging dev-python/ctypes solved the problem. It should be added as a
mandatory dependency of the ebuild.

I'm currently away, so I don't have access to my printer to test this. I'll fix
it as soon as I'll get back home, in a couple of days.

Denis.

hplip-2.8.5-r1.ebuild with USEflag "systray"

I made a -r1 ebuild with the new USEflag "systray" and that dependency with
"dev-python/ctypes".
Maybe it helps... :)

Thanks a lot. I'll have a look at it as soon as I'll have access to my printer,
which seems to be less and less often nowadays unfortunately.

Denis.

Thanks. It works correctly with the "systray" use flag by pulling
"dev-python/ctypes" in.

But if you don't use "systray" it still builds the hp-systray executable. And
it's the same problem again.

If you cannot disable the hp-systray building, maybe should you consider it's
part of the package and always pull in "dev-python/ctypes" without any
"systray" use flag.

As annoying as it is (i.e. I'm not particularly fond of the feature),
upstream's documentation seems to imply that it is not optional. At least
that's what I remember.

Denis, still not hear his printer.

I have just committed hplip-2.8.6b. There are new qt3 and qt4 USE flags, and
when qt3 is used python-ctypes is added to RDEPEND.

Thanks for reporting this.
Denis.
