Package: hplip
Version: 2.7.10-2
Severity: important

It's great to see the new version of hplip in the archive, but I have to 
report a few issues:

1) The old package's hplip.desktop file, which added a convenient 
KDE/GNOME menu entry, has disappeared. Please re-add it. I see that the 
file exists in the debian/ dir - you just need to install it, and 
remove the NotShowIn=KDE line. And install the matching icons, also in 
the debian/ dir.

2) The hp-toolbox and other features didn't work at all until I added my 
user to the scanner group. I wasn't informed of this new requirement. 
And why the scanner group? To be honest, I don't like this new 
requirement at all, but if group membership really must be required, 
I'd much rather it be something like "plugdev". Really, all use of the 
scanner group should go, and all external plugable devices should 
use "plugdev". But I'm ranting :) At least, though, document the change 
in a NEWS entry, and the README.Debian.

3) In CUPS, when adding a printer, I noticed that all HP printer choices 
were doubled - that is, they all appeared twice. It looks to me like 
CUPS looks in multiple directories, and was finding the same PPDs 
twice, because of hpijs-ppds' symlink in /usr/share/cups/model. I 
deleted that symlink, and the problem vanished.

4) hplip recommends openprinting.org-ppds, which is the Ubuntu package. 
Debian's equivalent is still called linuxprinting.org-ppds (unless you 
want to take over and rename the seemingly neglected foomatic packages 
as well...).

Again, thanks for the new package.

Cheers,
Christopher Martin

Christopher,

Thanks for your earlier report, I'm closing this as openprinting-ppds now 
exists in Debian.

Mark

foomatic-db (20080211-1) unstable; urgency=low 
   * New upstream release.  (Closes: #462634)
   * Follow upstream package name transition: linuxprinting.org-ppds is now
     openprinting-ppds.
   * Add info to openprinting-ppds about where to find PPDs that aren't
     included in this package.  (Closes: #400254)
