There is an updated package for lirc (lirc-0.9.0-1.1.mga1) in Core

It has been checked x86_64 but so far we have been unable to properly
test it i586 with the hardware we have ourselves.

have the vendor's generic for-any-Linux version 4.1.2
I've prepared an update candidate which fixes this regression and
additionally contains fixes for two other unrelated crashes.
As you are the one with the only affected model so far, i'd like
to ask you if you could please help validating the update candidate.
This one is it:
This issue should now be fixed in the new hplip in core/updates_testing.
The new hplip needs to be checked though so we are calling out to
anybody with an HP printer who uses hplip.
Is anybody able to test this please, especially i586?
Many thanks
