Hi all
We currently have hplip packages in Core Updates Testing which need to
be tested. If you have an HP printer and Mageia 2 then you can help :)
To enable you to update packages from Core Updates Testing you need as
root to use: edit-urpm-sources.pl --expert
Place a tick in the Updates column next to Core Updates Testing.
You can enable it as per normal update media and should be able to
update from Core Updates Testing. Please _don't_ install everything you
find there, just the packages relevant to hplip which you can find
listed on the update request here:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5619#c12
Once you have updated just those few please, remember to disable Core
Updates Testing again.
Please check you can still print and scan OK, the HP printing menus are
OK and that there are no regressions. If you are able check duplexing
(printing on both sides of the paper) that would be useful too.
This bug was about scanning, the duplex bit of the bug was, too:
