Just for your information I have removed the auto-configuration [1] of hplip printers done by udev rules. There was as well an upgrade and an uninstall tool which I have removed as well. This are things which should be done by the user/admin. As mentioned on the wiki page for hplip [2] at every upgrade the recommended action is to delete all print queues and recreate them again, either with hp-setup or the cups web interface. [1] *hplip-3.14.3 (07 Mar 2014) 07 Mar 2014; Daniel Pielmeier <bil...@gentoo.org> +hplip-3.14.3.ebuild: Version bump. This version adds a patch which removes the update and uninstall python scripts as well as the auto-configuration/plug-in installation related stuff from the udev rules. This should fix Gentoo bug #434830 (Upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1080353). [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/HPLIP -- Regards Daniel Pielmeier
