The priority order of drivers recommended for the LaserJet 12xx/13xx was already changed in favor of the PCL drivers HPIJS and pxlmono in foomatic-db and foomatic-db-hpijs. Now HP is not using these Foomatic packages any more to generate their PPDs. Instead, they use the PPD generator of the CUPS DDK with their own data file. This does not contain any "recommended" tag and so system-config-printer defaults to the PostScript PPDs.
This means that this bug is now an upstream bug of HPLIP. The developers at HP have to fix it, for example by using "(recommended)" tags in their .drv file and removing the "(recommended)" tags from the appropriate PostScript PPDs. Printers which need these change are the HP LaserJet 12xx and 13xx models and perhaps also multi-function devices based on these printers if they do not have more memory by default. For the time being and especially for Hardy I have implemented a workaround in system-config-printer. This will be available with the next system-config-printer package. -- Can't print some emails and pictures to HP LaserJet 1200 series https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
