@Reuben "HP" and "Hewlett Packard" were merged around april in Dapper to one manufacturer indicaton "HP", so there is only manufacturer indication "HP" in the released Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
You probably did some manual changes, make sure you have the following package versions installed: * foomatic-filters-ppds 20060406-0ubuntu1 * hplip-ppds 0.9.7-4ubuntu1 * gnome-cups-manager 0.31-1.1ubuntu13 It is not a good idea to file 2 seperate bugs in one report, this makes it difficult for people to comment. You could open a seperate bug report for your foomatic-net suggestion. My opinion on this matter is that gnome-cups-manager should make use of foomatic xml database and generate PPD files from it when needed. This allow greater flexibility: e.g. only PPD files for a specific locale could be generated. As a plus this decreases disk space usage compared to the current prebuilt PPDs. It is not a good idea to fetch every driver from the linuxprinting.org website since some people have no permanent connection to the internet, the linuxprinting.org website can be down. They would be unable to install their printer. Disk space is cheap these days, so less than 70 MB don't really matter. People concerned with disk space can still remove the prebuilt PPD packages and download the PPD from linuxprinting.org for their printer model. I think it is better to create a specification from this instead of filling a bug report. -- Foomatic missing LaserJet 4L / suggestions https://launchpad.net/bugs/50631 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
