<div dir="ltr">apologies for my absence (and for my email address link), I thought I'd worked around this problem by using 'dbus-launch hp-toolbox' to install a printer, but no joy - now ( a few days later) I'm back to square one, but without the ability to get it working again. I'm interested to know (but can't understand at all really) not only if this bug fix can be applied to ubuntu, but also how to apply it :/, I'm not quite sure I can make sense of what they're saying. <a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10929">http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10929</a> same applies really to this one: <a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=9944&action=edit">http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=9944&action=edit</a> it all seems a bit involved, but gives no details other than that it is there. My info started coming from here because it's the only thing I could find that related to dbus. My details of what's going on for me are here (as a launchpad bug). I had no replies (not sure if I upset them - maybe too much info :(. Still - the problem: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/277295">https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/277295</a> I'm struggling with this, so hope someone can help. Thanks for your time already if you've read this far, and hope this isn't too wordy to be useful, Martin   </div>
