Description: hplip from extra doesn' t work while that from AUR does.
The difference is in the shared object files (.so) expected to be in /usr/share/hplip/scan/plugins.
Current version still doesn't deliver them, the AUR package does.

What AUR pkg and what files do you miss from upstream tarball? What needs to be added to the package?

AUR has a package called hplip-plugin which contains the shared objects. AUR also has the hplip package without those .so files.
The official repo has only the hplip package without the shared objects.

The hplip-plugin package is not included into the hplip pkg for good reason. It's a binary pkg and has a different license.

I see.
The point is that hplip already includes a number of .so objects for printing. The missing ones make scanning impossible.

Simply install the AUR hplip-plugin package. It add the additional funcionality.
