I've just noticed that the "check updates" setting cannot be changed via hp-toolbox. In the tray icon pane of the settings dialog within hp-toolbox (!), changing it and clicking OK does not actually change it. It does however change when going via tray icon->Settings. Checking for updates and installing them does not make sense for distribution users, because updates are controlled via the package manager. I am thinking of opening an upstream bug about aiding an option to disable update checking. In version 3.14.3 I have added a patch which removes the update and uninstall python scripts as well as the autoconfiguration and plug-in related stuff from the udev rules. This should prevent hplip from upgrading. |
