Arch Linux User Repository

For those running Manjaro:

Manjaro's hplip is always delayed with respect to Arch, and this hplip-plugin follows the Arch version. It's a bummer. However, the unstable branch of Manjaro usually have the updated hplip version there.

So, if you want to keep it synced, try using the downgrade tool to actually upgrade to the package in the unstable branch. This is not recommended in general, but hplip does not have deep dependencies, so it works fine. Here's the command:

sudo downgrade hplip --ala-only

From the list of versions, select the one that matches the hplip-plugin version.

prepare() fails on my Manjaro machine, I have to add "--nox11" to make it work, like this:

prepare() { sh "hplip-$pkgver-plugin.run" --target "$srcdir/hplip-$pkgver-plugin" --noexec --nox11 }

@argymeg: many thanks. My printer is working now. I was indeed using pamac.

@ploffie: You can see just further down on the page, the same error was reported around this time last year. No resolution was posted but, based on the discussion at the time, are you using pamac by any chance? If so, try building the package manually and see if that works.

Installation gives the error:

==> Extracting sources...
==> Starting prepare()...
hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run: line 314: exec: -t: invalid option
exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [argument ...]] [redirection ...]

    Aborting...

hplip 3.21.12 is installed

when i Comment out the line: "/usr/share/hplip/ui5/sendfaxdialog.py", line 375 as the error prompts everything works!!!!

@jsn42 I agree, it would be great, to find solution for this, but problem is, when you do that, you will have to uninstall hplip-plugin before every hplip update, as pacman will not allow you to update hplip without removing hplip-plugin first due to version mismatch... :/
