I'm trying to install drivers for an HP Photosmart C5180 printer. Either I am failing miserably, or the person who wrote this script is failing miserably.

CHECKING FOR NETWORK CONNECTION
-------------------------------
error:
The network appears to be unreachable. Installation cannot complete without access to
error: distribution repositories. Please check the network and try again.[/code]
It's the last lines that seem to be the problem. Any ideas here?
Most distros have hplip in their repos; you could try that...
Also, it looks like it can't figure out how to use your package manager to get the dependencies. Try installing them by hand through your package manager, then run it again.

I've already tried installing the dependencies from apt, but I get the same error anyway
I'll try installing hplip from apt, and see if that works

So I've installed hplip from my repositories, but I still can't print from any office program.
