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!

@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.

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.

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.

I got this working in a different way. I am posting this as a stop gap. If you have installed hplip from the official repos, there should be a 'hp-plugin' binary. Run it as root. There is a problem in the setup if you notice in the terminal, there is a python error. I figured it might be a problem with the Python2 vs Python3 syntax error as Arch is now Python3 by default. I did some renaming to temporarily point the 'python' binary to 'python2' (moved the original python in '/usr/bin/' to somewhere else and copied 'python2' to 'python' in '/usr/bin'. Reverted back after installation was done) and it worked! I switched back the binaries and the plugin is working. Will however wait for the packer version though.

For now packer can't build this package (it needs sudo). makepkg can't build it with and without sudo. Is this package installable?
