I've upgraded (from Trisquel 7.0) to Trisquel 8.0 with clean/fresh install.



When I connected to printer (HP LaserJet P1007) it's detected while adding from settings>printers (system-config-printer) and I completed the setup;at last it asked whether to print test page and it was not printed. I also tried printing documents but they are not really printed and system shows printed successfully.



Though it displays correctly added/configured in settings:

enter image description here



I'm not sure but earlier I had faced similar problem when I solved it by manually configuring through hp-setup as discussed here. I've also tried that but it's showing following error:



error: HPLIP is not installed properly or is installed without graphical support. Please reinstall HPLIP
warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed.
error: hp-setup requires GUI support (try running with --qt3). Also, try using interactive (-i) mode.


So,(looking at it would be the issue with GUI provided by Qt4), I tried interactive mode:



$ hp-setup -i

Num Connection Description
Type
-------- ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------
0* usb Universal Serial Bus (USB)
1 net Network/Ethernet/Wireless (direct connection or JetDirect)
2 par Parallel Port (LPT:)

Enter number 0...2 for connection type (q=quit, enter=usb*) ? 0

Using connection type: usb

error: No device selected/specified or that supports this functionality.


Hence the error is "No device selected/specified or that supports this functionality."



I've also checked that hp-plugin is installed properly because I remember my printer needs plugin:



$ hp-plugin -i

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.16.3)
Plugin Download and Install Utility ver. 2.1

-----------------------------------------
| PLUG-IN INSTALLATION FOR HPLIP 3.16.3 |
-----------------------------------------

The driver plugin for HPLIP 3.16.3 appears to already be installed.
Do you wish to download and re-install the plug-in? (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ? n


Thus, how do I fix the issue of 'jobs are not printing and it's shown printing completed' and 'hp-setup not working'?



Note: I've also tried purging and re-installing hplip and here is the version of package available on Trisquel's repository:



$ apt-cache policy hplip
hplip:
