[SOLVED] Driver Plugin for HP Printer : Failed to Install

Hello guys, as I stated in the tittle I'm having problem to install driver plugin for my HP P1102. The 'hplip' is from the repo not from HP website. This is the error after I downloaded the plugin "The download of the digital signature file failed." I really don't know what to do and I really hope someone could help me with the solution. BTW, I'm using KDE 4.8. If anyone want me to post any output please let me know because I don't know where to start. Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Driver Plugin for HP Printer : Failed to Install

Can you install the file with 'pacman -U'?

Is your system up to date? Please post your pacman.conf.

Re: [SOLVED] Driver Plugin for HP Printer : Failed to Install

I did not know about 'pacman -U'. Yes my system is up to date. This is my pacman.conf :

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir      = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists

# PGP signature checking
# NOTE: None of this will work without running `pacman-key --init` first.
# The compiled in default is equivalent to the following line. This requires
# you to locally sign and trust packager keys using `pacman-key` for them to be
# considered valid.
#SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly
# If you wish to check signatures but avoid local sign and trust issues, use
# the following line. This will treat any key imported into pacman's keyring as
# trusted.
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
# For now, off by default unless you read the above.
SigLevel = Never

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#SigLevel = PackageRequired
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

I also tried using Cups in web interface and it looks like Cups doesn't recognized my printer.

Re: [SOLVED] Driver Plugin for HP Printer : Failed to Install

Update : Now 'hplip' doesn't recognized my printer at all. This is the output of 'lsusb' :

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 03f0:002a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet P1102

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0411:01d9 BUFFALO INC. (formerly MelCo., Inc.) 

If I run 'hp-setup -g busid:devid' hplip will recognize my printer. I can install using that but after the installation the connection with the printer will fail. This is so strange. Can someone help me with this and why hplip or Cups doesn't recognized my printer?

Re: [SOLVED] Driver Plugin for HP Printer : Failed to Install

Update : Now my PC has recognized my printer after I disabled HP Smart Install in Windows. I can install the printer using 'hp-setup' and the driver plugin flawlessly but still I couldn't get the printer to work. It just kept in idle mode. In Cups the error says "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" and when I read in wiki it simply suggested that I need to make sure dbus and avahi-daemon (optional?) is running. I did that and still no success. Please if you experienced with the same problem please let me know your workaround.

P/s : I also installed foo2zjs and foomatic-db-foo2zjs from AUR.

Re: [SOLVED] Driver Plugin for HP Printer : Failed to Install

The printer is now working after I replaced 'sys' to 'sysgroup' and 'lp' to 'lpadmin' in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Restarted Cups and login Cups using root username and password. Then, I added the printer using the specific printer name shown and select the PPD from 'hplip' (with propretary plugin which I installed before). So I can happily say this problem is solved! Thanks!

You can still do so (and really, you should, even if this was solved already): Please use the Edit button and in every applicable post of yours change the "quote" tags to "code" ones.
Your posts will be so better readable.

And your readers will be so thankful!!!
