I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and after sorting out some other problems, I now have this problem;
No system tray for HPLIP.
running Gnome, rebooted quite a few times, so this problem is new.
Gnome shell, or Gnome classic ?
Can you reboot and check you’re still getting this error.
It’s Gnome Classic, theres no normal Gnome installed, theres Gnome Classic (No Effects) too
I just logged out and back in and got the same error as above screenshot
What happens if you NOW run:
hp-systray
Does it start ? … if so, you need to edit the command for the hp-systray item in startup applications from:-
hp-systray
to
sh -c “sleep 15; exec hp-systray”
It seems like hp-systray is attempting to start before the system tray is loaded … changing that command will introduce a 15 second delay in starting hp-systray, giving the system tray time to come up first.
If you’re not sure how to change the hp-systray startup applications command line … ask.
I got this and it did start, theres the icon in the top corner.

Above is what you need to do then.
Don’t get you???
Did you change the command in the hp-systray startup application entry (as described above) … or not ?
if so, did it work upon a reboot ?
in other words … is this now solved ?
Yes
