As "lpinfo -m" gives the manufacturer name for the sub menues in printer setup frontends in the second column I tried
lpinfo -m | grep Hewlett on current Edgy and got no output at all. So the problem seems to be solved at least for HP. I have foo2zjs, all foomatic* packages, and linuxprinting.org-ppds installed. The problem of having too many printer drivers in the distro and letting some drivers be downloaded by printer setup tools from linuxprinting.org is about to be fixed upstream at FSG where I am doing the printing work, especially joining linuxprinting.org with FSG OpenPrinting and printing in LSB. See http://www.freestandards.org/wordpress/?p=224 http://www.freestandards.org/en/OpenPrinting/SummitLexington If all works fine, perhaps it will be done for 7.04 but at least it will come in 7.10. ** Also affects: foomatic-db (upstream) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: foomatic-db (upstream) Status: Unconfirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: foo2zjs (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Summary changed: - HP PPDs installed by foo2zjs should use *Manufacturer: "HP" + HP PPDs installed by foo2zjs should use *Manufacturer: "HP"/Too many drivers in distro -- HP PPDs installed by foo2zjs should use *Manufacturer: "HP"/Too many drivers in distro https://launchpad.net/bugs/50631 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
