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!

What @davedrowsy wrote is essentially right, BUT: * The URL is http://pyropeter.eu/arch/pyropeter (the old one will break one day) * My repo only contains x86_64 packages * One can also just add my repo as an additional repo to pacman. This would allow to just -Syu without even thinking about hplip. For more help on that, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_User_Repositories

I just solved a problem that sprung up for me recently with updating hplip-plugin. Figured I'd post in case it helps someone: When doing yaourt -Syau, I was getting this message: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: Starting full system upgrade... :: hplip-plugin: requires hplip=3.12.6 while my current version of both hplip and hplip-plugin was 3.12.6-3. I noticed that someone was having a similar problem about a year ago and pyropeter recommended downloading the hplip-plugin package from his repository* (in pkg.tar.xz format), so I tried downloading the latest hplip-plugin (3.12.9-1) pkg.tar.xz and did pacman -U [filename.pkg.tar.xz], pacman took care of the dependency issues and it easily upgraded both hplip and hplip-plugin to 3.12.9-1 - nice! *http://keks.upful.org/arch/pyropeter

uploaded 3.12.9

uploaded 3.12.6-4: * makedepends now contains the new python2-* names * added the two pyqts as optdepends @holyArch: After a glance through the hp-setup sourcecode I'm under the impression that hp-setup is able to run in a so called "interactive" mode using only the console, and furthermore has the ability to use qt3 and qt4 for an optional GUI. I thus added pyqt3 and python2-pyqt to the optional dependencies. Thanks for your hint! I also should say that I didn't actually test this release very well (nothing to print at the moment...) so I would be happy about any feedback. (Especially because hplip is really unstable)

uploaded 3.12.6-3: * moved udev-rules to /usr/lib @garyvdm: thanks for the hint and the patch!

@said: You should try to consult the upstream support. They know how to deal with not-working issues.
