Hello, I have an old multi function printer that scans w/o problems in Ubuntu and Fedora. The hplip-plugin does not install either via hplip or via aur (which has a different version). I have seen a similar problem in Manjaro. I suspect, if we fix it now, it might re-appear in half a year. Any recommendations? Thanks!
2 aur/hplip-plugin 3.20.5-1 (+381 3.45%) (Installed)
Binary plugin for HPs hplip printer driver library
1 extra/hplip 1:3.20.5-2 (18.8 MiB 30.7 MiB) (Installed)
Drivers for HP DeskJet, OfficeJet, Photosmart, Business Inkjet and some LaserJet
why hplip-plugin from AUR?
use hplip itself, only issue currently is that it fails to get key for validating downloaded plugin, and fails caused by that.
But can be solved simple:
sudo nano /usr/share/hplip/base/validation.py
change the server in the line:
Problem solved! Following your instructions and then download the plugin through hplip works. Scanning works, too. However, I am getting this message which is probably save to ignore.
