hello backporters, i just tried to backport hplip (the drivers for hp printers) to wheezy, as only the latest versions support desktjet 1010 devices. for that, i had to do the trivial backports (just `dch --bpo`) of pyppd and hplip, and build them in wheezy pbuilders. (the backported pyppd has to be provided in the build environment for hplip.) the versions i used were pyppd 1.0.1-2 and hplip 3.13.9-2. printing on stable with the packages i built Just Works, but i'm not familiar enough with their workings to be sure that what i've built is suitable for general public. therefore, i do not propose my packages for inclusion in backports here, but hope that whoever next tries to do it will find this helpful. best regards chrysn -- To use raw power is to make yourself infinitely vulnerable to greater powers. -- Bene Gesserit axiom
