Package: hplip
Severity: normal
Hi,
Very simply by hte following dirty work of deb maker, I am selling over EBAY my
HP office. Really.
HPLIP is really a bunch of mess. That's definitely the worst package to be seen
for debian. Why not to install X11 and also GNOME + KDE, and also firefox? -
Yeah, you forgot firefox (iceweasel) in the dependencies ;) lol
Seriously., for people that are using HP printers, on a server, please make it
simple or split HPLIP into :
HPLIP-DRIVER with only the driver for printing + sane
HPLIP-SERVER for servers (with only the drivers + few server dep)
HPLIP for common users and novices
That would greatly improve the package, otherwise (it kinda s****)
Anyhow I am moving away from HP, since it provides messy boxes with unecessary
packages.
We have other better printing offers.
Regards
Thanks anyhow

To run a headless server, without X11 and friends.
Package: printer-driver-hpcups
Architecture: any
Section: text
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends},
ghostscript-cups, cups (>= 1.4.0) | cupsddk, cups
Suggests: hplip-doc, hplip (= ${hplip:binary:Version})
Replaces: hplip-cups (<< 3.11.10-1ubuntu2)
Breaks: hplip-cups (<< 3.11.10-1ubuntu2)
Description: HP Linux Printing and Imaging - CUPS Raster driver (hpcups)
This package contains a CUPS-Raster-based printer driver which adds support
for most inkjet printers and some LaserJet printers manufactured by HP. It
does not provide PPDs for the fax functionality of HP's multi-function
devices.
.
Users of the CUPS printing system are advised to also install the
hplip package, and use the hp CUPS backend to send data to the printer.
HPLIP supports USB, networked and parallel-port devices, and enables
extended hpcups functionality such as border-less printing.
Selecting any hpcups ppd in CUPS will use hpcups automatically.
.
No physical PPDs are shipped with this driver. PPDs are dynamically
generated via a CUPS DDK .drv file.
.
This package can be installed to provide a minimal headless printer
solution using CUPS.
If you also wish to have scanning on a headless system:

Architecture: any

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Replaces: hplip (<< 3.10.6-3)
Breaks: hplip (<< 3.10.6-3)
Recommends: sane-utils, hplip (= ${hplip:binary:Version})
Description: HP SANE backend for multi-function peripherals
This package contains the SANE backend libraries for use with HP
Multi-function peripherals.
.
Users of hplip are advised to install the hplip{-gui} packages for
command line and GUI tools associated with HPLIP.
.
This package is useful for a minimal footprint headless scanning solution.
Thanks,
Mark
