Fixed in system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils in Jaunty. Now printers which need firmware do not get set up automatically any more. Instead, a notification appears at the system tray telling that the printer got detected and allowing the user to fire up system-config- printer with one click to do the setup of the printer. system-config- printer asks the user whether he wants do download the HP plugin and installs it if the user agrees. So the user will not get left with non- working print queues any more.
