Arch Linux User Repository

Please ensure your working directory is in the repository, because we use a custom download agent to download sources, this download agent is a curl wrapper with UA set to firefox's. We call curl directly, using config file to provide User Agent with space.

As for why not set UA in command directly, please check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines#Custom_DLAGENTS for more info.

I tested paru and it seems can work without any change. But I am not sure if other AUR helpers also can work.

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!

The HPLIP website has contact info for developers only. Lacking a better way, I did contact them there, and was redirected to Launchpad.

My bug report is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1910146

On other news, I suggest this as the bugs URL:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bugs

I thing a good replacement for https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/node/309 is https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/binary_plugin.html

"Upstream URL: http://hplipopensource.com/node/309" is outdated. 404 here

@andmars Thank you for your answer.

However, you can see that the current hplip version in extra is 3.20.9-2 : https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/hplip/

and the last update of hplip-plugin is 3.20.9-3

@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 Maybe you are on an outdated server?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 !)

@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.

@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.
