Flag this package out-of-date, if:

-a new version of "hplip" is in [extra]

DO NOT flag this package out-of-date, if:

-a new version of "hplip/hplip-plugin" is available on openprinting.org

-a new version of "hplip" is in [testing]

Found the same error as leo_sk when installing hplip-plugin from pamac manager (GUI).

When I tried to install the package from the command line (pamac build hplip-plugin) it showed the problem: some files already existed on the system.

I deleted the contents at the following locations and then I was able to properly install the hplip-plugin (3.20.3-2) package: /usr/share/hplip/plugin.spec /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/* /usr/share/hplip/fax/plugins/* /usr/share/hplip/prnt/plugins/* /usr/share/hplip/scan/plugins/*

I believe that the problem was that I had previously ran hp-toolbox that tried to install the plugins (it actually said it succeeded).

Despite the fact that the package has been installed properly hp-toolbox keeps asking for the plugin to be downloaded (for an HP Laserjet P1102w).

However adding the printer from KDE's GUI worked flawlessly.

I get error : var/tmp/pamac-build-shaurya/hplip-plugin/PKGBUILD: line 24: cd: /var/tmp/pamac-build-shaurya/hplip-plugin/src/hplip-3.19.12-plugin: No such file or directory

Does the license for this driver allow it to be added to the official Arch Linux repositories?

hplip plugin supports arm32 and arm64 arch, so maybe they should be added

Maybe 'sane' should be added to dependencies because plugin installation fails in an uninformative way because it can't find '/etc/sane.d/dll/conf' file.

I saw a similar issue to @SirNiczeK and @nrw when trying to update with aura:

I had no problems installing the package manually though - probably a bug in aura.

@ron2138, and @SirNiczeK, I'm not sure if it is the case, but which distro are you using? For instance, the Manjaro packages are slightly delayed with respect to Arch. For the hplip-plugin package it leads to occasional inconsistency with the versions. Since the AUR plugin follows the version the hplip package in Arch, it happens that the Manjaro package is outdated and one cannot update the plugin. You have to wait for the Manjaro hplip package to be updated.

Refering to @SirNiczeK comment from 2019-02-01 08:34, and @nrw comment from 2019-01-01 06:30:

Have you solved it? It could be the problem is specific to your environment because I believe it works for most users.
