Hey, I've adopted this package and applied some of the suggestions:

  • Add missing dependencies, notably libusb-compat and sane (cred @ZhandHua).
  • Depend on exact version of hplip (cred @jsn42).

In addition, the PGP-signature of the artifact is now checked, which means you need to fetch upstream's key:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4ABA2F66DBD5A95894910E0673D770CDA59047B9

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!

There has been something strange in my system. Hplip-plugin could not update due to hplip not being hplip>=3.15.7 and hplip could not update due to hplip-plugin's dependency error. I suppose it was due to an outdated system. The solution was to remove hplip-plugin, upgrade hplip and install hplip-plugin.

Okay i figured out the problem, the installer tries to run some commands within an xterm, this fails if no xterm program is installed (other terminals work too, but gnome-terminal or xfce-terminal is none of them). Could you maybe just add an dependency on xterm? This introduces dependencies on some X11 stuff, so maybe a better solution would be to fix HP's installer script...

I have the following problem building the package on my system: ==> Starting prepare()... hplip-3.15.4-plugin.run: line 314: exec: -t: invalid option exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments ...]] [redirection ...] ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). No idea what -t is supposed to do in exec..by bash obviously does not support it.

Since there are so many people having issues with the digital signature verification method I decided to reverse it. Now the old method should be working again. Sorry for any inconvenience you might have had.

Running this: gpg --recv-keys 73D770CDA59047B9 Gives me this: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available
