Bug#484990: remove hpijs-ppds from tasks?
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.74.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Currently, the desktop task includes "hpijs-ppds", a 1.7 MB package
which is 15.5 MB unpacked. However, hpijs now uses cupsddk to generate
PPD files by itself (AIUI). As a result, it is possible to get PPDs
for the hpijs-supported printers without installing hpijs-ppds. This
works for me, at least. In addition, if hpijs-ppds is installed, you
get double entries for each printer when selecting printer model in
CUPS, which is a bit confusing.
Perhaps we should remove hpijs-ppds from the desktop and print-server
tasks?
