First of all hp-setup cannot download its plugin via the proxy: Checking for network connection... Downloading configuration file from: http://hplip.sf.net/plugin.conf Downloading configuration: [\ ] 0% error: I/O Error: invalid proxy for http Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/hp-plugin", line 320, in <module> plugin_download_callback) File "/usr/share/hplip/installer/core_install.py", line 1875, in get_plugin_info os.remove(local_conf) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpfh3FTb' And it does not break! It If I unset HTTP_PROXY it downloads the plugin and tries to install it. But it fails because of unwanted option -i: Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Created attachment 229267 [details, diff] core_install.diff I don't know about your HTTP_PROXY problem so I would like to urge you to open an upstream bug about this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip. Regarding the "error: option -i not recognized" there is already an upstream bug. Can you try if applying the attached patch to /usr/share/hplip/installer/core_install.py fixes this problem.
Thanks for filing the upstream bug. Did the patch I have attached work for you regarding the unrecognized option?
FYI: the error "-i: is located in hp-plugin. The latter downloads and installs the plugin. Because the plugin has been installed already hp-setup does not even try to install them again. hp-plugin seems to be the only way to re-install the plugin and to try your patch. Secondly I cannot apply your patch. I do not know why. It seems to be correct but `patch <your_patch` says "Hunk #1 FAILED at 1990" and goes away. Is there another right method to apply a patch? If I remove "-- -i" from line 1993 manually it works well! :)

The problem is how hp-plugin calls the installer from the downloaded run file. hp-setup calls hp-plugin which in turn executes run_plugin from core_install.py which is the file I attached the patch for. core_install.py in turn executes the downloaded plugin run file with the -i or -u option like you see in the patch. The problem is if you have built hplip without gui portions (USE="-qt4") neither the "-i" nor the "-u" option is available. hp-setup is probably checking if the plugin is already installed but hp-plugin does not. This is why you can not install the plugin by using hp-setup twice. > Secondly I cannot apply your patch. I do not know why.

It is possible that I did something wrong when creating the patch, I will take a look at this when I apply it from within the ebuild. > If I remove "-- -i" from line 1993 manually it works well! :) > So if you run hp-plugin with the manually patched file the installation completes without error?
(In reply to comment #4) > So if you run hp-plugin with the manually patched file the installation > completes without error? Yes, without error! (If I do not use my proxy of course.) > hp-setup is probably checking if the plugin is already installed but hp-plugin does not. hp-setup checks and run hp-plugin if plugin not installed: 365: plugin_installed = utils.to_bool(sys_state.get('plugin', 'installed', '0')) 366: if plugin > PLUGIN_NONE and not plugin_installed: ...: ... And hp-plugin checks too but it asks to re-install the plugin: 275: if core.check_for_plugin() and plugin_path is None: 276: log.info("The driver plugin for HPLIP %s appears to already be installed." % version) 277: 278: cont, ans = tui.enter_yes_no("Do you wish to download and re-install the plug-in?")
(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > So if you run hp-plugin with the manually patched file the installation > > completes without error? > Yes, without error! (If I do not use my proxy of course.) Okay so I will add this fix to the ebuild. There used to be another plugin patch which does not seem to work, so I will replace it with this one. Your problem with the proxy will be hopefully dealt upstream soon.
+ 04 May 2010; Daniel Pielmeier <billie@gentoo.org> + files/hplip-3.10.2-plugin.patch: + Another try to fix plugin installation. This should fix bug #274538 and + #316777. I have committed the patch. Now it applies fine. Thanks you very much for your help. I will resolve this bug as a duplicate of bug #274538 as this one is older and about the same issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 274538 ***
