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.
Please feedback your findings onto the bug above and include the
architecture you tested with (i586 or x86_64)
Many thanks from the QA team (who don't have any HP printers!)

Working good on an i586 system with a Deskjet 5650 with duplexer, and an
Officejet 6110.

Gary thanks for trying, I think you probably left off the --expert
switch when trying to tick the Updates column. Without that it won't
allow you alter that column.
Thankyou all for getting involved. As a result, we have been able to
properly test and validate this so give yourselves a pat on the back :)
You should see it become available very soon as an official update for
all Mageia users!
Thanks
Claire
