Description Tim Waugh 2005-12-14 17:40:18 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #175555 +++
+++ comps still needs changing to include hplip +++

HP PSC devices require hplip to be installed and system-config-printer should
then prefer / only show the hplip way to get to this device, this way scanning
works too (out of the box). A problem is that hplip doesnot seem to get
installed by default, maybe system-config-printer should depend on this?

-- Additional comment from twaugh on 2005-12-13 04:54 EST --
I don't think that system-config-printer ought to depend on hplip, since there
are very many use-cases that don't require it and it is quite large.

We should add it to comps, though, wherever cups appears.

-- Additional comment from j.w.r.degoede on 2005-12-13 06:42 EST --
Sounds reasonable, as long as it gets installed by default. Also
system-config-printer should use and if nescesarry enable hplip for PSC (all in
one) devices if installed. When using hplip one can just startup xsane and
everything works.

I can get it to work myself, but we want tobe as much plug and play as possbile,
right?


-- Additional comment from twaugh on 2005-12-13 09:33 EST --
That aspect is much harder to fix, as printconf-tui creates the queues that
kudzu/cups-config-daemon tell it to.

-- Additional comment from j.w.r.degoede on 2005-12-14 02:54 EST --
Should I file a bug against kudzu for this then?

My mother in law has such a printer and I have converted here over to Linux, no
for other mother in law scenarios it would be nice if this would work 100% out
of the box, and all the parts are there.

Yes please -- against hal I think.

Assigning it to hal.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2005-12-14 17:41:19 UTC

Reassigning back to jkeating.  We still need to add 'hplip' to comps wherever
'cups' appears.

Comment 2 Jesse Keating 2005-12-14 17:45:21 UTC

hplip is already in comps under the printing id as a default.  Is there any
further work needed on this bug?

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2005-12-14 20:35:15 UTC

This may be relevant:
It wasn't installed on my system but thats FC3 -> FC5 test by yum yum and yum,
so no comps file involved.

Unfortunately this method isn't supported.  The package probably shouldn't be a
dep of cups itself as Tim states.  However since we are adding it into the
Printing group, a yum groupupdate or the like would pull it in.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2005-12-15 16:32:42 UTC

Okay, no change needed then -- sorry for the noise.
