HP seems to have changed how they serve the sources as far as I can tell:
- It's only possible to download zip archives, even for the signature. Downloading extracted signatures is not supported by pacman.
- For some reason I can download the zip archives in my browser, but not with curl.
Not really interested in looking into this, so I'm disowning the package.

Please ensure your working directory is in the repository, because
we use a custom download agent to download sources, this download agent is a curl wrapper with UA set to firefox's.We call curl directly, using config file to provide User Agent with space.As for why not set UA in command directly, please check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines#Custom_DLAGENTS for more info.
I tested paru and it seems can work without any change. But I am not sure if other AUR helpers also can work.

Hey, I've adopted this package and applied some of the suggestions:
libusb-compat
andsane
(cred @ZhandHua).Depend on exact version ofhplip
(cred @jsn42).In addition, the PGP-signature of the artifact is now checked, which means you need to fetch upstream's key:
Unfortunately, I have no HP printer at home so my testing ability is limited to running
hp-diagnose_plugin
. If someone has better opportunity to test and is interested in maintaining, let me know and I'll handover the package or add you as a co-maintainer. Cheers!
