How can I easily install missing hplip dependencies?
Having installed HPLIP on my 10.10 system, the HP Photosmart 420 gives "Device Communication Error" code 5012 when I try to print. Running hp-check lists 11 missing dependencies. Do I have to install them all one by one or is there an easier way to get the printer going? What is the command to install a dependency?

On a side note, your system should have all required dependencies forhplipalready installed if you installed it from the Ubuntu repos through the package management tool of your choice. Or did you install it from elsewhere?

In terminal
sudo apt-get -f install hplip
should fix it
There is the other option here : source
which has the download and installation instructions. It has a section that will run
DEPENDENCY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
This is the direct download source

I also had the problem of the printer being seen but not printing. I actually manually added a new instance of the same printer with a new name and description and stuff and it started printing. I'm using SteamOS and I first used:
sudo hp-setup -i
Then I have chosen the identified printer (k209a) but renamed to just the model, added location and description. When it prompted to print a test page I did so without hope but the "Stupid Old Black printer" started to print :)

I also had this problem. The way for this to work is to install the hplip toolbox from the software center. Then sudo hp-toolbox and then you should be able to install the correct plugin. In fact if you type hp- then tab you should see a bunch of for HP printers.

I also had the problem of the printer being seen but not printing. I actually manually added a new instance of the same printer with a new name and description and stuff and it started printing. I'm using SteamOS and I first used:
sudo hp-setup -i
Then I have chosen the identified printer (k209a) but renamed to just the model, added location and description. When it prompted to print a test page I did so without hope but the "Stupid Old Black printer" started to print :)

On a side note, your system should have all required dependencies for
hplipalready installed if you installed it from the Ubuntu repos through the package management tool of your choice. Or did you install it from elsewhere?– Christopher Kyle Horton
