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!

Agreed. That test is kind of silly. By default makepkg refuses to run as root, and there's a flag to override it. Not to mention that's an odd way of checking.

I think following lines should be removed such that the package can be built as root. 26 if [ -w /etc/hp/hplip.conf ]; then 27 echo 'You should not make this package as root!!111!1' 28 return 1 29 fi When I tried to build it as user in root group, I got "OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/hp/'" error as permission for /var/lib is 755.

So, I just had a hard time getting my firmware to load with the HP Laserjet 1020. I rewrote the rule for it: -----------------------8<---------------------- SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2b17", \ RUN+="/usr/bin/systemd-cat -t hp-firmware -p5 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/hp-firmware -n -y3 -s$env{BUSNUM}:$env{DEVNUM}" ----------------------->8---------------------- If anyone has problems they might want to try this rule. I wonder if we can unify all of them. Also, does anyone know why these rules have a delay of 3 seconds (-y3)?

@jamesbond007: yes, using zilti's patch, updating it to latest ver., it works fine: pkgver=3.12.10a depends=('hplip=3.12.10.a-3') md5sums=('7e9065367c347c76284be168143a0588')

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.
