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!

@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

pyropeter commented on 2012-10-11 06:18 (UTC)

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.

pyropeter commented on 2012-10-07 13:18 (UTC)

@holyArch: please wait for [extra] to contain the new hplip before flagging this package out-of-date.

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

pyropeter commented on 2012-09-07 17:10 (UTC)

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)
