Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: foomatic-db
Breezy had tons of LaserJet drivers; Dapper does not. I assume that they
were trimmed because the driver DB was getting too bulky. My printer is
one of those trimmed: HP LaserJet 4L.
I suggest that there be a new package: foomatic-net, which interfaces
with the database at Linuxprinting.org. That way, the foomatic database
that's bundled with Eft can be ultra minimal, and users can still have
the huge range of drivers available. After all, once you've installed
the driver, you are rarely going to use the database again, so why have
70MBs sitting around doing nothing?
(If the user does not have a net connection, then they should be able to
install the database from the cd.)
** Affects: foomatic-db (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed
