Hi,

I needed an updated packages for this printer:
http://doc.cliss21.com/index.php?title=HP_Officejet_Pro_K550
to work (it doesn't work with the version in stable).
I didn't notice any problem, and hp-info didn't hang either.

What surprises me is that the package actually is in testing. If a
package didn't enter testing/unstable, maybe it's the latest upstream
version?
1.6.7  Release   2006-08-02 *testing 1.6.7-2
1.6.9  Release   2006-09-15
1.6.10 Release   2006-10-16
