It is the latest version that still relies on HPIJS as the default. Beware: Starting with 3.9.6 , "The new native CUPS driver (HPCUPS) is now the default printer driver. HPCUPS requires CUPS 1.2 or higher and is a complete replacement for HPIJS." ( http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=967420 ) Thus, this upgrade to 3.9.4.b is considered to be smooth and easy. The next step might require additional care; but it will be necessary in order to to support the new WiFi printers: "A new utility 'hp-wificonfig' allows you to configure select wifi-capable printers on a wireless network. ..." ** Affects: hplip (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Please update HPLIP to 3.9.4b https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397332 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
