And printer model is...? My crystal ball can't tell :-)

It's an HP 2000 J210

Thanks. I hoped it was a PostScript printer and so no driver
required, but sadly it is not.

Okay, so Sid's hplip should be able to work with your printer. It's
on version 3.11 and your printer requires >3.10.9. If it does not
work, you are eligible to open a bug report.

The feedback I have always got when trying to install through foomatic
is 'no driver available', and having installed from the HP site driver
resource, I have always been able to get a functioning printer. I've
done this with this same printer in the past and been printing off it
successfully.

What's the exact message you get? These little details are more
important that it seems at a first glance.

Very simple message: Missing dependency. Please install libusb and
rerun the installer. The name of the library file is libusb - no
reference number or other extension

Good... what package did you download? I mean, to install the printer
(upstream source of hplip)?

I go here:

http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

Which, after my supplying OS, version, passes me through to the
Sourceforge repository where I download the file hplip-3.11.10.run,
which I place on the desktop.

cd desktop
sh hplip-3.11.10.run

initiates the install. The installer recognises the fact that it's
Debian and Unstable, asks for the root password and begins the install.
Then I get the complaint.

I've tried it with the USB port connected and disconnected as quite
often with USB installs this will be the problem. No change in either
case.


I ran an install for libusb but am informed that there's no such
package. I then opened up the aptitude interface and went
looking, installing anything that had 'libusb' in its name.
Still the same complaint.

There are many packages/versions named "libusb":

http://packages.debian.org/sid/libs/

No, there are none in SID called just plain 'libusb'. And I've
installed every other package name that has 'libusb' in it. Still
nothing.

Hum... I can see several:

libusb++-0.1-4c2
libusb-0.1-4
libusb-1.0-0
libusb2

And there can be also associated libraries:

libusb++-dev

None of these are just 'libusb' and I recognise some of those that are
installed already. There's nothing left in the aptitude ncurses
interface with any libusb description in the 'uninstalled packages
section. I've installed them all, whether they appear related or not,
in case of dependency requirements.

For example:

root@192-168-1-2:/home/weaver# aptitude install libusb2
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libusb2"

Does anybody know what is happening here? Has 'libusb' been
renamed in SID?
Is there any other explanation of this type?

(...)

It could be that the package installer looks for something
different than you think and so the importance of the exact
"complaint" message you get.

The *exact* complaint message I get is: 'Warning: There are two
missing REQUIRED dependencies note: installation off dependencies
requires an active internet connection
Warning: Missing required dependency: libusb (libusb - USB library)
Warning: This installer cannot install libusb for your distro/OS
and or version
Error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please
manually install this dependency and re-run the installer'

(...)

Good, good... so the installer can't see where libusb is located in
your system (maybe a packaging issue). Run:

dpkg -l | grep libusb
locate libusb

and put here the result.
