Bug#787524: upgrade-reports: hplip upset by upgrade to Jessie
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie, the hplip-System again did not work. I
say again, because I had similar problems when upgrading to Wheezy. Back then,
in the end, I solved the problem by purging and reinstalling hplip and the
immediately surrounding packages, so this is what I tried this time, too.
However, the reinstallation complained that the file /etc/hp/hplip.conf did not
exist. So, I reinstalled libsane-hpaio, and after that hplip again. This got me
a few steps forward, but the computer still didn't print and I got a diagnosis
stating that another file was missing, I think it was
/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups, so in any case, I had to reinstall printer-driver-
hpcups, too, before I could get the system to talk to the printer, which by the
way is a HP LaserJet 1020. Note that all the packages mentioned were already
installed, still the named files were missing from my filesystem after the
upgrade until I explicitly reinstalled them.
Thank you
