Package: hpijs
Version: 2.1.3+0.9.3-1
Severity: wishlist

foomatic-db-hpijs depends on foomatic-filters. And
foomatic-filters-pppds is of no use if one use the "foomatic
way" instead of the cups "backend drivers".

Should i send another bug report for those issues:
- make hplip itself depends  on foomatic-filters-ppds
 as it needs it for the cups backend driver it provides. 
- foomatic-filters-ppds to stop depending on foomatic-db-engine as
it provides the "compiled" ppds for cups so there is no need for
the tools to generate them which are provided by
foomatic-db-engine.

The current dependency walks is not easy for users and install
both foomatic engine even if we use cups with a cups driver and
ppd. Or am i totally lost and the cups hp driver is only for the
backend (and we still use foomatic to bypass cups raster process
:

)


Could those resolution be synchronized to avoid having a period
where nothing suggest to install foomatic-filters-ppds for hplip
users ?

Regards
Alban
