As the owner of this bug, I can confirm that this patch does allow HPLIP to install the proper patch for my printer.
However, I found two problems: Firstly, HPLIP runs through a terminal and asks me if I would like to download the plugin and if I accept the license, etc. It being in a terminal seems horribly out of place with the look & feel of the desktop. I was able to traverse through the instructions, but it doesn't seem to fit in the GNOME desktop Secondly, when the plugin is done downloading and installing, the dialogue that says "Describe printer" and asks for the printer's Name, Description and Location has the printer's name as 'printer'. Not sure if you can add a hook to add the proper printer's name after HPLIP runs, but I'm sure it'd help with look & feel. -- HP LaserJet P1005 unusable in 8.04 and 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363522 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
