HPLIP GUI not working in 11.10 Beta

[Roger Sanders]

Hi, Guys!

I did a test install of 11.10 on a spare HDD and found that the HPLIP
GUI package installs, but when I ran it, my CPU usage maxed-out and the
system froze.

The only way out was to use the 'Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly
Boring' key sequence.

I then downloaded the install script from HP and tried that.
In the first instance, I had to manually satisfy the dependencies, as
11.10 is not included in the options, but even after doing that the
'make' exited with an error 2.

I then tried installing, forcing the script to use the 11.04 settings
and it still exited with the same error 2.

As the HPLIP GUI is the only way to monitor ink levels it would be
really nice if this could be sorted before release.

When installing 11.10, it did recognise my printer and installed it, but
the scanner section of the printer and ink level monitoring do not work
with this basic install and the HPLIP GUI is needed for full
functionality.

My hardware:

Acer TravelMate 4101
Printer HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2060
