[Bug 51573] Re: Please update HPLIP to 1.6.6

[John Shakespeare]

[sorry for the delay in responding - I was on vacation without net
access]

The script glitches referred-to earlier are for hplip 1.6.6 as
downloaded from sourceforge:

Running ./configure does not check all dependencies. I got a clean
output without errors, but then got compile errors for pcardext.c during
make (Python.h was missing). It is necessary to install Python2.4-dev to
resolve this.

After make completes (without errors), running sudo make install does
not complete. It cannot find the hplip command. Here is the last part of
the log
