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!

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

@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.

% cat /var/lib/hp/hplip.state [plugin] installed = 1 eula = 1 version = 3.12.11 The file hplip.state is not used by this package but provides information for hplip package, without which hp-setup can't install some printers.

@vdemin: The file /var/lib/hp/hplip.state is not used by this package. Moreover, hp-setup is provided by an other package: hplip. So the file should be created by the hplip package.

vdemin commented on 2013-02-18 10:50 (UTC)

Why this package didn't create /var/lib/hp/hplip.state ? Without this file, I couldn't add my HP_LaserJet_Professional_M1217nfw using hp-setup.

@vrtladept: In most of cases, hplip-plugin is only required for an all-in-one printer or a laser printer. For a standard printer, CUPS may be sufficient. Check if you printer is supported without hplip-plugin: https://www.openprinting.org/printers Else check if your printer is supported by hplip-plugin: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html Note: if you use this package, reboot your computer after the install to enable the new udev rules.

I installed this but whenever I try to setup the printer it still tells me I'm missing the plug-in (using hp-setup). I also tried to just install it directly with cups, but still doesn't work.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-12-02 23:12 (UTC)

PKGBUILD updated and cleaned up. Note: now, the PKGBUILD just copies the files directly, without relying on hplip installation routines. If you have any problem, let me know.
