I've managed to upgrade hplip to the latest version. I can't test it, but it builds fine and might work ok. See hplip makefile attached, together with it's additional dependency libusb1. You can build them yourself or tell me which syno feed you're using and trust me to do it for you. Anyway, it would be nice if you could test it.

Hi,

Would it be possible to provide a more recent build of hplip?

The currently available build is 3.11.3a-1, and with that I could successfully scan from my laptop with my HP PSC printer connected to my Synology NAS.   However, I had to replace that printer due to a malfunction, and now I have an HP PhotoSmart 5520, which is only supported from hplip 3.12.6 (latest version is 3.13.11).

I tried simply copying over the models.dat file from the installation on my laptop, but it's apparently not as easy as that. GIMP on my laptop then finds the scanner, but the scanning dialog complains about invalid field values.

So I guess I really need a complete update of the hplip package. The currently available package is 2.5 years old, so I suppose it's due for an update...

Thanks in advance,
Peter.
