I installed HPLIP on my raspberry pi to use CUPS as per here but some packages are simply not installing. I have tried:sudo apt-get -f install hplip, sudo apt-get install qt4-default qt4-designer qt4-doc qt4-dev-tools python-qt4 and the same for PYQT5, sudo apt-get install qt5-default and countless other things. Does anyone know what to do. My latest string (after doing all of the above and more for nearly 2 hours) is this:
couldn't get the code snippet mode to work - don't know why.
