Bug#663554: Nags me to install proprietary plug-in although printer works
Package: hplip
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have an HP LaserJet P2015. Every time I turn on the printer, hplip
pops up a message box:
"Driver Plug-In Required. HP Device requires proprietary plug-in which
is missing. Press Next to continue plug-in installation."
This is not true. My printer works fine without any proprietary
plug-in. Perhaps the plug-in adds some feature to the driver, but it
is nothing that I need.
I think that
a) the message should not display unless the plug-in is really
necessary,
b) if it does display, then it should not say that the plug-in is
required when it is not,
c) at the very least, there should be an option: "Do not display this
message again".
Thanks.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
