ajacoutot f8bddf7e5a Major update to hplip-3.9.6b.
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!

* HPLIP communication with the printer is done via CUPS so you need to
give the _cups user r/w access to /dev/{usb,ugen}*
* the printer must attach as a ugen(4) device which means you need to
disable ulpt in your kernel - see config(8).
* to make the hpaio backend available to SANE, simply add "hpaio" to
its configuration file. As root:
echo "hpaio" >> ${SYSCONFDIR}/sane.d/dll.conf
