Package: ippusbxd Version: 1.33-1 Severity: normal
I have been using ippusbxd on a number of unstable installations which are up-to-date. The printer is exposed on a dummy0 interface with ip link add dummy0 type dummy ip link set dummy0 up multicast on ip addr add 192.168.7.80/24 dev dummy0 ippusbxd is started with either ippusbxd -i dummy0 or ippusbxd -i dummy0 -d after the printer is plugged into a USB port. Unplugging the printer sees ippusbxd stopping. When hplip is not installed, my ENVY 4500 gets set up as an IPP-over-USB printer very nicely. With hplip installed, plugging the USB cable into the machine before starting ippusbxd gets me a non-driverless queue. Why should I want that? Furthermore, the non-driverless queue is shared. It seems a little unusual to provide access to the printer when the ippusbxd queue doesn't specifically allow it. Regards, Brian.
