Thanks @dasarne - our printserver seems to have currently some issue. Please test carefully and provide feedback if something doesn't work with this update.

The printer driver has been updated. Here are the necessary changes to PKBUILD:

@NewAtair,

I am still researching what is the current state here. There is another package here (outdated): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kyocera-utax-ta

Not sure if the bundled pypdf3 can be just replaced, needs to be tested first.

And for the sake of my own interest I have to see if the packaged drivers play well with the UTAX branded printers we have.

@HartmutS

There are two identical packages:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kyocera-cups and this one https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kyocera_universal

I think 'python-pypdf3' can be replaced with 'python-pypdf', but I think this only needed for the kdialog9, which is ignored by the package. I used and adapted the kyocera-cups package.

HartmutS commented on 2026-02-25 08:27 (UTC)

@Schmetzler - we have a number of UTAX printers around campus and I could try to help maintaining/upgrading this package.

Schmetzler commented on 2026-02-04 20:43 (UTC)

As I no longer have access to a kyocera printer I cannot maintain this package anymore (as I can't test, whether the driver works or not) so someone else should be up for the task.

NewAtair commented on 2026-01-29 20:55 (UTC)

PyPDF3 is no longer maintained, the successor is is PyPDF or PDFCondiut.

https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf

NOTICE: this repo is no longer maintained. I recommend checking out my currently maintained PDF project pdfconduit or the most recent version of pypdf

Should this be migrated to the newer kyodialog 9.3 download?
