I don't see any reason for this since both packages foomatic-filters-ppds and hplip-ppds are installed by default in Ubuntu. You don't need to figure it out. These are separate packages because they come from different upstream projects and are maintained by different Debian maintainers.

You can use the same simple fix as https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hplip- ppds/+bug/34987 to solve this. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
