Actually the change mentioned in the Ubuntu package is enough to fix it, since we already have it in Debian. Upstream solved this problem in the just-released 0.6.18 version by adding support for detection through libusb, which is the correct way to reliably detect whether a printer managed by HPLIP is online. However this backend looks very experimental, and I would not dare to upload a package that adds duplicate printer entries to unstable. The best way to workaround the issue in a manner suitable for lenny is probably to disable the online/offline detection for printers managed by HPLIP. However I don’t have the “chance” to own such a printer. It would be nice if you could try this approach in hal_lpadmin and tell me whether this works. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
