Sure. Perhaps an update to the one that is there. >> Question: Do you think the fact that the ppd files are not put in the >> right place for hplip is a bug I should file? > > Yes, I would think so.

Right. > Although I have emerged hplip I am not using it. I print through cups using > hpjis. Is there a benefit to using hplip and its tools? I believe hplip gives access to all the features, e.g., ink level, but I haven't tried anything like that. The reason I went into this exercise was to get scanning and that was successful. It is possible that I will get computer control of faxing as well (the main question is how much effort I would be willing to put in considering that I don't fax much at all). allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
