This replaces tickets #30061 and #7201.
I am resubmitting the Portfile to attempt to resolve the issues raised in the other ticket. Since several files are new, I am opening this as a new ticket, intended to replace the old one(s).
This port of HPLIP provides scanner support of HP all-in-one (HPAIO) printers, particularly intended to be used with SANE. (Note that it works under the MacPorts versions of xsane and saned, not the OS X versions.)
The official project page is http://hplipopensource.com/. It's a project, funded by HP, that creates open-source drivers for HP's printers/scanners.
While the intent of this port is to provide scanning support (because CUPS already supports printing to HP all-in-one printers under OS X), the port also provides printing support, so your HPAIO printers may appear duplicated.
Usage notes:
- to use across a network, start saned with the -a option. Make sure you've edited saned.conf in /opt/local/etc/sane.d/ to allow access from local IP addresses (such as by uncommenting the line 192.168.0.1/29).
- as noted repeatedly at the SANE project, run saned behind a firewall and don't run it as root!
- make sure you activate the launchctl daemon and client items (client being the same user that runs saned) as noted in the installation log.
