Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hplip-gui

1. Jaunty Alpha 5-6
2. hplip-gui-3.9.2-1ubuntu1
3. I expect to see an option for "Unload Photo Card" in the HP Toolbox
4. The option is missing, forcing me to use the command-line client (hp-unload) 
instead.  This could be a major issue for non-technical users.

Please reference the following link for more details.

Basically, HP has removed GUI support in favor of USB mass storage
access.  However, older printers (such as HP Photosmart 3200) can only
unload photos using the GUI tool.

To prevent older printers from losing this functionality, I suggest we
build legacy packages similar to what's done for graphics drivers.
Also,  it should be possible to re-add the functionality to the toolbox
with a little development effort.

Example Packages:
hplip-gui   (virtual package for installing hplip-gui-392, since it is the 
latest)
hplip-gui-392
hplip-gui-277
etc.
