Hi,

   From the log, it is found that there are many missing dependencies. You can download and install latest hplip-3.12.2 from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html.

Follow the instructions there in the link. Once installation is done, run in terminal "hp-setup -g" and give us the output.

HP Designjet T770 44in is not yet supported. Just for temporary fix, follow the instructions below.

- Go to the folder where hplip-3.12.2 has been downloaded (e.g. ~/Downloads). Run in terminal :

 $ cd ~/Downloads/hplip-3.12.2
 $ gedit data/models/models.dat &

    (Search for [hp_designjet_t770ps_24in] and copy the whole section and paste in somewhere in the file. Now in the new copied section, change [hp_designjet_t770ps_24in] to [hp_designjet_t770ps_44in] and in model1 = HP Designjet T770 44-in Postscript Printer. Save the file and close it.)

$ make
$ sudo make install

After this, reconnect the printer to the machine. Run in terminal "hp-setup" and it should detect the printer. After setup is complete, you can print.

Let us know if you have any issue in this. Please provide the output of "hp-setup -g" which was mentioned earlier.
