Any chance of HPLIP getting updated?

[eeclark]

hplip 0.9.5 is out there but 0.9.6 has the fixes for Ubuntu users. The 0.9.7 is the newest rev.

Just would like at the very least the one for Ubuntu (0.9.6).

I'd make my own deb pkg but still new to debian.

jdong@shuttle:~$ ubp hplip
hplip | 0.9.7-4 | unstable | source, i386
hplip | 0.9.5-2ubuntu2 | breezy | source, all
hplip | 0.9.6-1ubuntu4 | dapper | source, i386


0.9.7 not in Dapper.

There is evidence of some packaging changes (i386 vs all) in the current Dapper revision, so that'll take further testing.

I downloaded 0.9.7 from the HP Printer Project on Sourceforge and have installed it (with a lot of tooing and frowing searching the forums as the error messages came up, I might add), but it's not showing up as installed in Synaptic, and the HPLIP Toolbox says I have no HP products . I have managed to get Gimp to print.

Anyone know how I can get the printer recognised in the HPLIP Toolbox?

if you compile and install it yourself, it will not register in Synaptic. It is now YOUR task to recompile/remove it when doing your next system upgrade (when the current binaries are rendered incompatible with the system, or potentially the newer version hits Dapper).

Keep a list of everything you compiled yourself, or use checkinstall.
