Package: hplip
Severity: normal


Hi, 

Very simply by hte following dirty work of deb maker, I am selling over EBAY my HP office. Really. 

HPLIP is really a bunch of mess. That's definitely the worst package to be seen for debian. Why not to install X11 and also GNOME + KDE, and also firefox? - Yeah, you forgot firefox (iceweasel) in the dependencies ;) lol 

Seriously., for people that are using HP printers, on a server, please make it simple or split HPLIP into : 

HPLIP-DRIVER	with only the driver for printing + sane

HPLIP-SERVER	for servers (with only the drivers + few server dep)

HPLIP 		for common users and novices


That would greatly improve the package, otherwise (it kinda s****)

Anyhow I am moving away from HP, since it provides messy boxes with unecessary packages. 

We have other better printing offers.

Regards
Thanks anyhow

To run a headless server, without X11 and friends.

Package: printer-driver-hpcups
Architecture: any
Section: text
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends},
 ghostscript-cups, cups (>= 1.4.0) | cupsddk, cups
Suggests: hplip-doc, hplip (= ${hplip:binary:Version})
Replaces: hplip-cups (<< 3.11.10-1ubuntu2)
Breaks: hplip-cups (<< 3.11.10-1ubuntu2)
Description: HP Linux Printing and Imaging - CUPS Raster driver (hpcups)
 This package contains a CUPS-Raster-based printer driver which adds support
 for most inkjet printers and some LaserJet printers manufactured by HP. It
 does not provide PPDs for the fax functionality of HP's multi-function
 devices.
 .
 Users of the CUPS printing system are advised to also install the
 hplip package, and use the hp CUPS backend to send data to the printer.
 HPLIP supports USB, networked and parallel-port devices, and enables
 extended hpcups functionality such as border-less printing.
 Selecting any hpcups ppd in CUPS will use hpcups automatically.
 .
 No physical PPDs are shipped with this driver. PPDs are dynamically
 generated via a CUPS DDK .drv file.
 .
 This package can be installed to provide a minimal headless printer
 solution using CUPS.


If you also wish to have scanning on a headless system:

Package: libsane-hpaio
Architecture: any
Section: libs
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Replaces: hplip (<< 3.10.6-3)
Breaks: hplip (<< 3.10.6-3)
Recommends: sane-utils, hplip (= ${hplip:binary:Version})
Description: HP SANE backend for multi-function peripherals
 This package contains the SANE backend libraries for use with HP
 Multi-function peripherals.
 .
 Users of hplip are advised to install the hplip{-gui} packages for 
 command line and GUI tools associated with HPLIP.
 .
 This package is useful for a minimal footprint headless scanning solution.


Thanks,
Mark
