P1606dn - unable to install hplip-3.12.3 on Mint 12

Hi Ciaran Mulloy,

This plugin installation is failing due to hp-configuration doesn't contain ui mode. This may be configuration error.

Requesting to download latest HPLIP-3.12.4.run from "http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html"

1) run hplip-3.12.4.run in terminal
$ sh hplip-3.12.4.run
==> follow steps.

Please let us know if you find any difficulties.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Due to some reasons auto installation is not working for LinuxMint 12. We regret for the inconvenience .
Please install the hplip-3.12.4 from the source package hplip-3.12.4.tar.gz. You will find the detailed steps to download and install this at this link : http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/linuxmint.html

Hi Amarnath,
Yes, I just spotted the new hplip upgrade 3.12.4 last night and have it
loaded and working now. Fortunately I'd done all the 'hard work' in
satisfying all the dependencies. The big issue is identifying which items
to load using apt-get install on the CLI.

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Goutam!
Yes I remember we've communicated before on this forum.

Yes, I just spotted the new hplip upgrade 3.12.4 last night and have it
loaded and working now. Fortunately I'd done all the 'hard work' in
satisfying all the dependencies. The big issue is identifying which items
to load using apt-get install on the CLI.

Many thanks for your help!
