+++ 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. -- Additional comment from twaugh on 2005-12-14 05:04 EST -- Yes please -- against hal I think. -- Additional comment from jkeating on 2005-12-14 12:20 EST -- Assigning it to hal.
Reassigning back to jkeating. We still need to add 'hplip' to comps wherever 'cups' appears.
hplip is already in comps under the printing id as a default. Is there any further work needed on this bug?
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.

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