I have had no luck as yet. Went to linux printing and

build-essential is already the newest version.
python2.4-qt3 is already the newest version.
libusb-dev is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you
have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the
unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet
been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libcupsys2-dev: Depends: libcupsys2 (= 1.2.0-0ubuntu5) but
1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
madmedic@madmedic-desktop:~$

I would value some pointers as to what to do next.

Hmmm, crazy. Are you an dapper? ;-)) To me, it looks like you
might be using the cupsys version from breezy.

I would say that we are
now so lucky that we found that your cups install offers some
room for improvement. ;-)

I would try to remove ANYTHING
with "cups" in it's name, insure
that /etc/apt/sources.list does not contain anything with
"Brezzy" in it's name, just "dapper" entries, only.
Afterwards do the "sudo apt-get xyz" command, once again.

Fwiw I am successfully using hplip 1.6.7 with three dapper
computers, 2x Kubuntu, 1x Xubuntu. I exactly followed the same
hplip setup procedure and never had an install problem like this.

And my cupsys2 and cupsy2-devel files are both on version
1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06 and I never did an upgrade from a previous
version, just full
installs of 6.06 from scratch.

Eberhard
