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!

Can anyone confirm that hplip-plugin 3.12.10a-1 works?

Thanks pyropeter. I adopted this package. Eventually i will probaly switch to foo2zjs too.

I'm disowning this now. I hope that the new maintainer will handle this PKGBUILD with care. This is my first disowned package, so I might be a bit sentimental about it. *Sniff* farewell, package! @said: It's foo2zjs: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/

ksniffer, I was able to install it (remove hplip-plugin, update hplip then reinstall hplip-plugin) with the information given by zilti. try to sudo mkdir /var/lib/hp this should solve your problem.

To install current version, simply edit the PKGBUILD, replace: pkgver=3.12.10a depends=(hplip=3.12.10.a) md5sums=('7e9065367c347c76284be168143a0588')

@pyropeter what is the name of the open source replacement that you are using? btw just orphan the package, someone will adopt it for sure

My printer (LaserJet 1000) no longer works with this package. I also found an open source replacement for this plugin. So I'm not using this PKGBUILD at the moment. The new hplip 3.12.10 changed the code used to install the plugin, so it would probably be easier to just copy the files directly, without relying on hplips installation routines. I noticed that this package needs to set some flags in hplips state configuration file (in postinst). See the plugin installation stuff in hplip for details. To make things worse, I don't have that much free time at the moment. If anyone wants to adopt this package, I would be happy to orphan it. If no other maintainer is found, the update to 3.12.10 might take quite a while.

3.12.10 is there in [extra] now.

@holyArch: please wait for [extra] to contain the new hplip before flagging this package out-of-date.
