It is obvious you think there are many, many things wrong with the packaging of HPLIP and we are not getting very far with a solution by bouncing ideas off one another. If I felt as strongly about a package as you do (and knew something about the subject) I would likely initiate bug reports to attempt to improve the situation for all users. I think I'm done here. -- Brian.
