hp-plugin with hplip causes anerrorLaserjet 1018s[Solved]

[Talisien]

I wanted to install hp laserjet 1018s with Hplip. Sarting the plugin command (sudo hp-plugin -i) does not function, because the digital keys are not downloadable.

Following error message is shown:

[/quote]Downloading plug-in from: file:///home/wolfgang/Downloads/hplip-3.12.2-plugin.run
Downloading plug-in: [\ ] 0% Receiving digital keys: /usr/bin/gpg --no-permission-warning --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xA59047B9

error: Digital signature file download failed. Without this file, it is not possible to authenticate and validate the plug-in prior to installation.

What can I do? If You Know something please explain in an easy way because I am very newbe in Linux.

Thank You

Rather than using hp-plugin, try launching hp-setup under your own user account, not as root user (it should prompt you to enter the root user's password):

Code: Select all

$ hp-setup

Thanks for Your answer. But this is not the Problem. Also if I am locked in in user account I get an error mesagge when I am going to download the plugin. There seems to be a missmatch with digital key and programm.

Is there any solution?

Are you using the net-print/hplip-3.12..2-r2 package installed from the Entropy repository? If you are, you could try using a newer version of hplip. The latest version in Portage is 3.12.4. To install hplip-3.12.4 using the Portage package manager, see below. All of these must be done as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window or VT.

1. Set up SL to use Portage for the first time.
Some of the following commands are redundant for some people, but I don’t know everyone’s situation so I cater here for all eventualities.

Code: Select all

equo install git # Sabayon overlays use Git.
emerge --sync # Synchronise with ebuilds in the Gentoo repositories.
layman -S # Get list of 3rd party overlays,
layman -d sabayon # In case the old Sabayon overlay was already added. Ignore error message, if any.
layman -d sabayon-distro # In case 2nd new split Sabayon overlay was already added. Ignore error message, if any.
layman -a sabayon # Add 1st new split Sabayon overlay.
layman -a sabayon-distro # Add 2nd new split Sabayon overlay.
layman -S # Make sure all overlays are synced.

2. Merge (install) the latest version of hplip.

Code: Select all

emerge -1v hplip

(You may need to prefix the above command with FEATURES="-collision-detect -protect-owned" if the merge grumbles about not being able to overwrite files.)

Presumably the HPLIP plugin file version 3.12.4 is installed by the Portage ebuild. The plugin has to be the same version as HPLIP as far as I know. If the file hplip-3.12.4-plugin.run is not installed by installing hplip-3.12.4 then you can download it:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.12.4-plugin.run
chmod +x hplip-3.12.4-plugin.run

(see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/plugin.conf)
