How do I tell in the gnome-cups-manager wether I am installing the printer using the hp backend or the usb backend?
Since the gnome-cups-manager is the preferred method it should be possible to clearly distinguish the two backends in the UI, and the ui should provide a hint that the hp backend is needed for hplip to work. So should the dialog that says the printer is not installed. It should also mention the gnome-cups-manager since the cups web is not usable by default. -- hplip cannot find DeskJet 5440 printer, despite CUPS's claims to the contrary https://launchpad.net/bugs/49107 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
