I do not see those tabs ("completion" and "advanced") when I go on "System Properties > Printer > right-click > Properies" (system-config- printer.py). So maybe there are options to hide them.
On the other hand, in the "printer properties" window I get a lot of others tabs, complicated, which are not very useful for a "basic user". I have searched in the "HPLIP" and "hplip in Ubuntu" bugs, but I see none saying "HPLIP interface is too geeky". Shouldn't we focus on that for the next LTS, as printing is a basic function used by everyone ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900506 Title: "completion" and "advanced" tabs are empty Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Distribution : Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 (french) Evince 3.2.1 1.
