Title:
Fails to download scanner plugin via hp-plugin
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm trying to install the plugin to get my scanner of the multi
function printer HP M182n working on 18.04, which I am currently still
using on my machine and it fails to download the plugin. Looking at
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins I see
that it is likely that the file hplip-3.17.10-plugin.run has been
removed from the server. There is a newer one,
hplip-3.17.11-plugin.run but it's getting more and more messy trying
to make this minor version number bump in the plugin work with the
version in Ubuntu and the upstream software quality is terrible too. I
started replacing version numbers and hashes in the bash makeself run
files, but it fails again. This time with:
Uncompressing HPLIP 3.17.10 Plugin Self Extracting Archive....
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
.Extraction failed.
Terminated
error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed
From my point of view, no average user should have to suffer through this. I
guess Ubuntu/Debian and HP don't talk to each other to support each other in
delivering a pain free user experience. Can you please look into this and maybe
release the .11 version of point me to a release to test for the users who are
still on a still good 18.04 LTS?
Here is my initial attempt:
