The foo2zjs package had some major problems in the past, mostly regarding udev. Recently, the author of the foo2zjs package added a notice to his page http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ not to use the packages shipped with major distributions, including Gentoo. He fixed the udev bugs, too (see changelog). As there are quite a lot of people having heavy problem getting their zjs based printer to work, the package needs to be fixed. As the current version is completely unusable (the udev rules do not work and block the printer completely), I marked the bug as critical.
hmh, the udev rules work for me, what should I change for you? I am putting the udev script into /sbin to not have it in an outdated location.
..and while you're at it, could you re-generate the digest again too? ive been getting an error on km2430.tar.gz for quite a while: !!! /usr/portage/distfiles/km2430.tar.gz !!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification !!! Got: 5118c4c83c560f023786e42420310ee8 !!! Expected: 304e9fd69db04a2f32b72178792cc2af
As stated in the changelog: 2006-06-07 Rick Richardson <rickr@mn.rr.com> * Modify: hplj10xx.rules to change BUS= to BUS==, SYSFS{}= to SYSFS{}== (undocumented change per "man udev") Additionally, the auto_numbering placeholder "%e" should be replaced by "%n" to suppress warnings by udev on printer powerup or system boot. Also, as I mentioned before, the author stes that one should NOT use the packages from the distro, but rather follow his directions manually: *** DON'T USE the foo2zjs package from Ubuntu, SUSE, Mandrake/Manrivia, Debian, RedHat, Gentoo, or ideainformatica.com! *** Download it here and follow the directions below. Would be nice if you could look over his howto and adapt it into an ebuild ;) Thanks in advance!
well, in the ebuild I have just changed that it no longer installs the hotplug rule. I believe it is better solved with only an udev run script. Also I fix the Makefile for different issues. I have contacted upstream but so far he has not added my patches. Anyway, I have now fixed and bumped the package, thank you all
a new version has been released. the new version fixes some minor issues with some models, and allows manual duplex on HP 1022
