This is caused by hplip upstream using deprecated udev keys that no
longer work as of udev 174. I have filed bugs about this upstream a
long time ago, but they did not seem to want to change it. Maybe they
will change their mind now that it no longer works at all...

To fix this you should make sure to install the newest hplip package
from the Arch repos which is patched to fix this problem. If that does
not work, open a bug report against hplip.

Cheers,
