Re: hplip 3.16.9+repack0-1 MIGRATED to testing



hplip packages in main repository are a fork of HPLIP by HewlettPackard
without proprietary firmware that HP includes in their packages.

There are more and more HP multifunction printer models that require
proprietary firmware to be loaded by the driver, and hplip"opensource"
catalog says that user needs a newer HPLIP version than your OS
repositories provide; but the truth is that user must download HPLIP
from HP official website and run their particular intaller.

I don't know if HP is not providing complete HPLIP software to OS
packagers, or OS packagers are discarding proprietary components.
I suppose that complete hplip Debian packages should go to "non-free"
repository.
