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!

I got the same problem (cups saying "filter failed"), JakubM's solution worked fine, thank you. common/utils.c 68: unable to open /var/lib/hp/hplip.state: Permission denied

@garion, I already got it working, but I have a feeling JakubM's solution would have been the solution to my problem.

I've performed hp-check and it turned out that I don't have permission to access /var/lib/hp/hplip.state file. sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/hp/ did the trick and it's working (just printed a page). Thanks.

@tuftedocelot: note that python2-pyqt is required to use hp-toolbox

@tuftedocelot: it exists also the command: hp-check which checks dependency versions and permissions. Could you perform it ? A log file is created in the current directory.

tuftedocelot commented on 2013-02-25 16:09 (UTC)

@garion, never mind. I got it working again. Purged the whole shebang and reinstalled from scratch

Now hp-setup works correctly for me. Thank you, garion!

tuftedocelot commented on 2013-02-25 00:36 (UTC)

@garion, the package seems to install correctly, but the hp-toolbox doesn't pick up on it. Running hp-plugin -i detects that the plugin is installed, but in hp-toolbox, it doesn't. I can attempt to print something, but I get a message saying that the plugin is missing.

PKGBUILD updated to the release 3.13.2. @vdemin: the creation of /var/lib/hp/hplip.state is included. Nevertheless, I don't use the hplip-tools. Please, check if it works fine. Thanks in advance.

pyropeter commented on 2013-02-23 13:54 (UTC)

@garion: hp-plugin installs the plugin and then sets a flag in hplip.state that tells hp-setup that the plugin is installed. If this package doesn't set that flag, hp-setup (and probably other hplip-tools, too) think that the plugin isn't installed and won't use it, rendering this package kind of useless.
