Package: hplip
Version: 2.7.10-5
Severity: important
When first tested a few weeks back, 2.7.10-5 worked fine. A few
"aptitude dist-upgrade" runs later, it has stopped working. Oddly
enough, the CUPS back end still works fine: I can print to the printer,
but I can't use any of the hplip tools to configure or manage the
printer.
The printer is connected by wifi, is accessible to hp-makeuri, and can
be pinged from the host. So, connectivity doesn't seem to be the issue,
and the configuration has been tested with all firewall rules turned
off just to ensure a clean test.
Attempting to use hp-setup fails, even when it can identify the printer.
It claims it can't read the PPD files, even when they're manually
assigned, and doesn't seem to see the existing CUPS configuration when
it exists.
Also, if it's important, hpssd is running, although it doesn't seem to
be starting from anything in /etc/init.d, so I'm not sure *how* it's
getting launched. It comes up after every reboot, though, so that seems
to be reliable.
In short, I'm at a complete loss as to why it suddenly stopped working.
The only saving grace is that paper (not fax) printing remains viable,
which keeps the bug from making the whole package unusable.

Dear Debian User,
Use of our limited, volunteer supported resources is best served by not
keeping open inactive bugs any longer than desirable, especially in
cases where the package concerned is older than the current stable
Debian version and upstream support has been limited. Consequently, the
report is now being closed.
Regards,
Brian.
