Upgrading to hplip-0.9.9 broke printing for me. Reverting to hp-0.9.8-r2 fixed
the problem. It appeared that with hplip-0.9.9, cups could not see the
foomatic/hpijs drivers, even after repeatedly re-emerging foomatic*, cups, and
hplip (and restarting daemons, rebooting, etc).

It works for me, but I masked =0.9.9 until I can test this more thoroughly.

I think it is the same problem I have. No foomatic and no gimp-print installed.
I have the ppds useflag installed, and that was sufficient before. Now I have
just one driver showing up in cups, HP-FAX-something.
I believe this message shows the problem.

>>> Completed installing hplip-0.9.9 into /var/tmp/portage/hplip-0.9.9/image/[/quote]

Which translates into english something like "could not overwrite the
directory". It comes from this part of the ebuild:

        if use ppds; then
                dodir /usr/share
                mv "${S}"/prnt/hpijs/ppd "${D}"/usr/share
        fi

Becouse of this the ppds do not get installed, and becouse of that cups can't
use them.

Hmmm, I have a hunch... Would you mind testing with stable Portage (2.0.54)? I
*think* it may have something to do with the new way it deals with dodir...

By the way, hplip-0.9.10 is now in the tree (package.mask'ed), so you might as
well try this version instead.

Thanks for your time! :-)

Reverting to stable portage didn't help my issue. First, I tried hplip-0.9.10
using portage-2.1_pre7-r3, no joy. Then reverted to portage-2.0.54, re-emerged
hplip-0.9.10, still no good. I'm back on the latest portage and hplip-0.9.8.

I did notice one thing that seemed a little odd- updating hplip and restarting
the hplip service doesn't work properly, a reboot is required (for instance,
when I switch from non-working 0.9.10 to working 0.9.8). Probably some of the
things hplip depends on should also restart (snmpd, etc).

Also, when I switch from 0.9.8 to a higher version, the new hplip is never
happy about the configuration, maybe the ebuild should/could migrate the
hplip/printer config so that it is compatible with the newer version? I don't
think that's the problem I'm having, since adding a new printer queue via hplip
setup doesn't help either.

The problem got nothing to do with portage and more to do with mv.
hplip makes its own "${D}"/usr/share/ppd for its HP-FAX-something so that
directory does already exist when the ebuild issues the commando 

mv "${S}"/prnt/hpijs/ppd "${D}"/usr/share

and since you can't make mv overwrite a directory it fails to move the files to
the correct place.

I don't know if it is more then a dirty fix, but makeing the following change
in the ebuild WORKSFORME:

        if use ppds; then
                dodir /usr/share
-               mv "${S}"/prnt/hpijs/ppd "${D}"/usr/share
+               mv "${S}"/prnt/hpijs/ppd/* "${D}"/usr/share/ppd
        fi

Brian: a simple restart works for me. Just tested from 0.9.8->0.9.10, I had no
problems. I don't know why you must restart for it to work - probably something
like snmp, like you said. If you can point it out, make sure to mention it.

I added Peter suggestion to cvs. Mind testing it? Hopefully this time it fixes
this bug.

No, patching the ebuild didn't work for me. Had to delete the printer 
queue that hplip creates in order to get 0.9.8 working again this time.

Maybe there's something odd about my printer config. Every time I upgrade  
to a newer hplip, the config is messed up and I have to run ./setup again. 
Why doesn't hplip accept the config without having to change something?

printer)

hplip conf; I never edit this

Just a perhaps useful comment: I just upgraded from 0.9.7-r3 to 0.9.11 (for the
new fax capabilities) without a glitch, on a x86 system. Everything is running
fine.

does this work with hplip-1.6.6?

It seems to work, hp-levels and hp-toolbox work. However, upgrading from
0.9.8-r2 to 1.6.6 gives me two print "queues", I only want the one already
defined by cups to be used. How can I fix the hplip config to do that?
Shouldn't the emerge have handled this as part of the upgrade?

When I run hp-levels, I get two choices. Oddly, selecting either works fine and
displays the ink levels:

# hp-levels

I want to keep choice #1 and remove choice #0. Running hp-setup doesn't help,
or maybe I'm not using it right.

sorry, cannot help much with extended hplip config since I do not own the
hardware. Cool to see this fixed though. THanks all
