Re: Bug#369286: hplip: Deskjet printer is turned on on boot and nightly
It may be not faulty of the printer firmware: my HP Deskject 5740 is turned on
on booting debian 32 etch. This This annoyng feature started some ten days
ago after update/upgrade. I tunr the printer off, but at some point (Icn not
tell you when) it is started again unwillingly. Condidering the mess we are
experiencing with installation of debian amd64 (which repositories, which
kernel, and so on without a written panel of instructions on the web), i
consider the above printer one as nothing.
