@Necoro added you as a maintainer

@tholinka: I still have the printer, so I can take over maintainership if you want.

Thanks @Necoro!

Replaced libxml2 with libxml2.so=2.

I no longer have this printer, so I can't test it anymore, but makepkg at least built and installed it.

Hi @tholinka,

libxml2 no longer provides the libxml.so.2 needed by the -scanner package. The depend string therefore needs to be updated to read 'libxml.so=2' (alternatively: 'libxml2-legacy')

Hi @dreieck,

Dell printers are using Samsung hardware under the hood. That's why there is an overlap. There is a good chance, you can operate your Dell printer with the Samsung package, though perhaps needing some PPDs from this package.

One could probably also fix the packages to operate in parallel, but this might need some work.

Ahoj,

  • Why does dell-unified-driver-printer need to conflict with samsung-unified-driver-printer, not allowing to have both drivers installed in parallel?
  • Why does dell-unified-driver-scanner provide samsung-specific files (and xerox-specific files) and thus needs to conflict with samsung-unified-driver-scanner, not allowing to have both drivers installed in parallel?

Regards!

Necoro,

I merged your changes, thanks for letting me know about the issue.

Hi tholinka,

I needed the following changes to make the scanner package work for me:

  • Install the libmfp.so - else the libsane-smfp won't load
  • Additionally install the bundled version of libnetsnmp; yet another dep of libmfp.so
  • Fix a typo (smpf -> smfp) writing the sane config
