Hello,
I'm trying to get my printer working. I must install some drivers i think. I found ones (.run file), but it gives me error when runned:
| Code: | Creating directory hplip-3.11.5
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing HPLIP 3.11.5 Self Extracting Archive......................................
File "./install.py", line 91
sys.exit(0)
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation |
What's the problem?

Thou shalt not try and install anything by hand if it's in portage. Even if it's not in portage you should write an ebuild instead.

Okay the printer is working. But i came across another problem - how can I scan files? Hardware button doesn't work - orange diode is blinking. As for sotware, i cannot find scanning option anywhere...
//edit
Okay it's pretty easy. Just use flag "scanner" and then emerge some scanning software, ex. xsane  |
