Thanks for the patch.

The patch is not complete. The "hplip-data" binary package contains the PPD files for HP's PostScript printers, so the "hplip" package is also a printer driver. The PPD updater is in "hplip" (a packaging bug).

So there should be a new binary package named "printer-driver-hp-postscript", containing these PPDs (current file /usr/lib/cups/driver/hplip, should then be /usr/lib/cups/driver/hp-postscript) and the corresponding PPD updater.

The "hpijs-ppds" package is not needed by CUPS as CUPS auto-generates the PPDs based on the .drv file in the "hpijs" binary package. "hpijs-ppds" is only needed for non-CUPS spoolers which cannot cope with a .drv file. WDYT, should "hpijs-ppds" also be renamed to "printer-driver-..."? Should it keep its name? Or should it get dropped?
