hp-toolbox, an advanced config for HP printers and part of the hplip package, does not work without the xsane package, spitting out this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hp-toolbox", line 51, in <module>
from ui.devmgr4 import DevMgr4
File "/usr/share/hplip/ui/devmgr4.py", line 49, in <module>
from scrollunload import ScrollUnloadView
File "/usr/share/hplip/ui/scrollunload.py", line 25, in <module>

File "/usr/share/hplip/pcard/photocard.py", line 33, in <module>
import pcardext
ImportError: libnetsnmp.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing xsane makes everything worked perfectly. As xsane requires gtk2, it might be preferable to just have a message after the installation mentioning the issue.

This was tested with hplip-1.7.4a-2 and xsane-0.994-1.
This task depends upon

It seems it does not function even if you would stand on your head - hehe.

It will be interesitn to see if the new release is any better - hehe. The only thing this hplip does is to provide some hp drivers - but hp-setup and hp-toolbox does not work - and has not worked for quite some time now.

Strange, it seems to work without xsane for me, now.

Just confirming that it is true, without xsane it doesnt work, even though sane is installed, xsane has to be installed as well. got the same error and found the bug on here and installed xsane and now hp-toolbox works fine
