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!

@kuluse: That is indeed strange since I ONLY update hplip-plugin when there is a new version of hplip in [extra] (see my pinned comment). What servers do you use in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist? Maybe you are on an outdated server? Maybe: https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

Hello, thank you for maintaining this package !

I have a question thought : since hplip-plugin needs to match the exact version number of hplip in order to work properly, why don't wait the new version of hplip comes in extra before updating hplip-plugin on aur ?

I mean everytime I update hplip-plugin I can't print until there is an update of hplip (some weeks !).

It was very anoying because I didn't know what the problem was but now I know that's ok, I don't update hplip-plugin if hplip is not updated.

Sorry for the naive question but I'm really wondering (no offense at all !)

leonardof commented on 2020-11-16 13:08 (UTC)

@argymeg, it might be, but I don't know. It might be that something in the hplip-plugin blob ought to be fixed to better match hplip. Maybe that fix works for the networked model but would break the not networked one?

Although, to be honest, I can't find instructions on how to report bugs in the URL provided by the hplip package, either.

argymeg commented on 2020-11-15 21:40 (UTC)

@leonardof: Unless I'm misreading the proposed fix, the file that needs to be edited belongs to the hplip package from the repos, therefore isn't directly related to this package, so I'd try the source URL from there.

This is a bug fix: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1937624#p1937624

Any idea where it should be reported?

The package's URL is a broken link.

@leo_sk no harm done, we've all been there :) Hope it gets sorted.

@argymeg Sorry for lashing out. This has been troubling me since quite some time and I hate not being able to solve errors that seem so simple initially. I have submitted an issue on pamac gitlab page also

After a bit of looking, it seems its a bug with pamac's gui itself

argymeg commented on 2020-11-10 19:47 (UTC)

@leo_sk: I do understand the frustration, but Arch policies are usually what they are for a reason.

I don't speak for the maintainer, but solving your own issues and contributing fixes is generally very much welcomed, as long as they don't introduce other issues. As things stand though, given that not only manual building but also other AUR helpers work fine with this package, it looks to me like pamac does not support this package, rather than the other way around.

leo_sk commented on 2020-11-10 19:30 (UTC)

@argymeg Almost everything i like out about aur is unsupported. This is irritating. I will build a new hplip-plugin, with support for pamac and arch based distros

argymeg commented on 2020-11-10 18:47 (UTC)

@egils: As below: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Code_of_conduct#Arch_Linux_distribution_support_ONLY

FWIW, the version of libnetsmp.so is the same in Arch, but I would be suprised to find any support for running a proprietary blob like this package in Parabola.

@leo_sk: AUR helpers are also officially unsupported by Arch, and GUI AUR helpers doubly so (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers). Regardless of distribution this sounds like a pamac issue, and you might have better luck raising it with them.
