Package: hplip-gui
Version: 3.16.11+repack0-1
Severity: important
When I right click the hp tray icon and click on "HP Device Manager" nothing
happens. Running the hp-toolbox command on the terminal opens the Hp device
manager normally.

Version: 3.21.2+dfsg0-1
This bug was filed for a very old version of hplip and probably has been fixed
in a later upload. So I am manually closing this bug now.
In case this bug is still present in the latest version of hplip, please reopen
the bug.
Unfortunately HP is no longer willing to maintain this software properly and
does not even provide a public bug tracker. Meanwhile the Ubuntu Launchpad
tracker is ignored as well.
Therefore it is very unlikely that HP becomes aware of this bug and will fix it.
So if you reopen this bug and really want to have this fixed, please also
provide a patch.
Thorsten
