Well, of course you are still the official maintainer, I have not hijacked
hplip :)  But if you want to swap the Maintainer and Uploader fields at any
time, just commit it to CVS and I will take the hint...

It's just that I have a HP DeskJet 5550, and I really wanted to have it
working at top performance, so I ended up spending a LOT of Debian time in
it.  That may not hold forever :-)

I think we can build one from the models.xml file in hplip-data.  Let me
hunt down the HP LJ 3200M there...  Yep, it is there, but the IEEE 1284 ID
is missing.  We could add it, send the patch upstream, and add something to
transform the models.xml file into a hotplug map for USB PSC devices that
scan through hpaio.

So, we need the IEE1284 ID for the LaserJet 3200M.  If the bug submitter
would be so kind to provide us with that ID, we can get to it.

hplip_info will output all the relevant data, please send the output to the
bug report, and we shall see what we can do.

BTW, is it possible that after we add that ID to the models.xml file and
regenerate everything, the hotplug map won't be needed?  Or does adding all
PSC/scanner devices to a hotplug map enables extra functionality that hplip
is not providing to anyone with such a device right now ?
