Some parts of the tools are still somewhat WIP; however, thanks to a
donation from linuxfund.org this has been successfully tested on a HP
OfficeJet 7500 e910, using STP discovery over WiFi with automatic PPD
generation. Scanning, printing, cartridge information... working.
Refer to the project homepage for the complete changelog.
This port now comes into 5 subpackages (ala Fedora):
- main: complete hplip functionnalities
- hpijs: deprecated hpijs printer driver
- hpcups: new-gen printer driver
- libs: libraries and helpers used by other subpackages
- gui: graphical tools (systray applet...)
It seems this version works a least as good as the previous one we had
in-tree. I could use some feedbacks for the fancier stuffs that hplip
provides (besides regular printing using hpcups and/or hpijs), like
printer communication, ink levels... because I have no hp equipment, but
at least, there was no regression reported.
(some features are Linux-only and are expected not to work)
Tested by several, thanks!
