hplip not working

[rdikarlus]

Hi all,
trying to connect my recently installed NetBSD 10.0_BETA (GENERIC) in my home PC to my home HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer series using air-print and hplip. The package compiled properly but I get this error message when executing:

$ hp-setup -i HPD83AB7  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/pkg/bin/hp-setup", line 48, in <module>
    from base import device, utils, tui, models, module, services, os_utils
  File "/usr/pkg/share/hplip/base/device.py", line 42, in <module>
    from . import status
  File "/usr/pkg/share/hplip/base/status.py", line 33, in <module>
    import cupsext
ImportError: /usr/pkg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cupsext.so: Shared object "libunistring.so.2" not found
Memory fault (core dumped)

hplip is working properly in NetBSD 9.3 laptop, I can print and scan using xsane.

Thanks for your help !

I'm not a NetBSD user, so this is solely based on a guess: You need an updated libunistring package.

hplip still not working but there is no need to use it since cups and airprint finds my printer-scanner HP DeskJet 2540. Despite hp-setup has been very useful to me in other BSD systems - OpenBSD - to configure HP printers, there is no need to use it. Thus the hplip package is needed to have the drivers, but you can configure the printer using the cups management system.

Thanks for the help.
