Hi everyone,

For the life of me, I cannot install hplip on Debian bookworm.

Here is what I get when I run apt install hplip-gui:

Unpacking printer-driver-postscript-hp (3.22.10+dfsg0-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-jEfRdO/7-printer-driver-postscript-hp_3.22.10+dfsg0-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps', which is also in package hplipclassdriver 3.23.5
Errors were encountered while processing:

 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-jEfRdO/7-printer-driver-postscript-hp_3.22.10+dfsg0-2_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S I tried installing hplip using the run file provided by HP, but I ran into other issues. Bookworm doesn't seem to be supported yet.

no alcohol or drugs: I quit drinking a year ago. I've saved a LOT of money. In my case, it was a crutch.

Food-wise, I eat very little meat. If I do, I eat pork liver, chicken hearts/gizzards. Offal basically. Fish can be cheap if you buy it flash frozen or canned. Peanut butter, bananas, and grapes are cheap. Instead of bread, I make my own flat bread.

    Anyone remember download accelerator plus? I'd download stuff at night while everyone was asleep, then pause DAP/disconnect from the Internet in the morning. Rinse and repeat.

    Yo, a couple years ago I had become fed up with the state of the modern Internet, and I started looking for alternatives. This is what I have found so far:

    • Gopher protocol (sdf.org is pretty active)
    • Gemini protocol (Modern version of gopher)
    • Shared UNIX systems (also called tildes) sdf.org is great!
    • RSS
    • IRC/Matrix to chat with people
    • Session messenger to chat with family
    • BBSes via syncterm
    • wiby.me and marginalia.nu search engines to find personal web sites
    • oldavista.com to browse the 'Old Net'
    • Web forums
    • Neocities
    • Webrings (They still exist!)
    • Lemmy (This is a new one)

    The next step for me will be to build my own personal site. The only way to keep the independent web alive is to participate in it.
