[SOLVED] hplip-1:3.18.6-2 - HP Officejet 6600 printer not recognized
Hi all,
since the latest hplip (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/hplip/) upgrade, my HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One printer is not recognized anymore. Today I was able to check if it is the printer or the laptop: Printer and scanner work fine.
All packages are up to date. I just posted the problem to HP launchpad channel: https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/675406 with a full description.
I was wondering: Any ideas what I could do for now?
Jared

Please try rebuilding hplip with https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … a6185b#n56 uncommented eg
patch -Np1 -i ${srcdir}/python.patchOffline

Re: [SOLVED] hplip-1:3.18.6-2 - HP Officejet 6600 printer not recognized
loqs,
thank you for your reply.
I have never done this before and need some help.
1. In which directory should I place the PKGBUILD file? I was not able to locate a directory with hplip .pkg file(s).
2. Looking at the PKGBUILD file, I do not see pacman in there. Shouldn't this be done with pacman -U?
3. If I do this, without pacman - will pacman still be updating, when updates are available?
This is already thin ice for me. 
Thank you for your help.

Please ensure the system has the base-devel group installed as well as git.
git clone git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git --single-branch --branch "packages/hplip" #fetch the PKGBUILD
cd packages/trunk/
# uncomment line 56 here of PKGBUILD
gpg --add-keys 73D770CDA59047B9 #fetch the signing key for the source
makepkg -rsi #build the package installing and removing dependencies as need then insall the built package.See also Arch_Build_System PKGBUILD Makepkg Creating_packages.

Re: [SOLVED] hplip-1:3.18.6-2 - HP Officejet 6600 printer not recognized
Rebuilding worked well, with the above commands (thank you @loqs). I only had to change
gpg --add-keys 73D770CDA59047B9to
gpg --recv-keys 73D770CDA59047B9Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. My printer can still not be found.
Any other ideas, what I could do?

Is hp-check producing the same error?

Re: [SOLVED] hplip-1:3.18.6-2 - HP Officejet 6600 printer not recognized
The python 3.7 issue with hplip seems resolved so what precisely is not recognizing the device? Which capabilities are not functioning properly printing / scanning / copying etc?
