Hey all,
I know this gets discussed to death, but I can't seem to find the best way to do this in my searches. I apologize if this is repetitive.
My printer requires a later version of HPLIP than is available in the intrepid repositories. As I understand there are a few ways I can try to solve this of differing difficulty and appropriateness:
- Download the HPLIP installer and install outside of the package manager
- Add some alternative repository to Ubuntu to try to download a newer version of HPLIP within the package management system
- Find a newer .DEB file of HPLIP and install it manually without changing repositories, but still using the package manager
- Upgrading to the Jaunty beta :p
Suggestions? Which is the best way of doing this?
Thanks,
Matt
