HPLIP 3.12.4 plugin installer fails with: QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

How can I make this work in Lubuntu to get my printer working? Plugin installer can be found here: http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/

I used: hplip-3.12.4-plugin.run

I found a forum thread with this exact same error over at the Arch forums, but I can't help but wonder, if the only reason this plugin refuses to run is because of a GTK theme warning, couldn't you just run it from a non-GUI prompt? That is, press ctrl+alt+F1, login and then run it. Could be worth a shot.

that what I was doing. I ran sudo and the command. – Frank Barcenas May 11 '12 at 20:01
