Great!
Many Thanks!

Your packages are the second ones in the list
when searching for "hplip" on
http://software.opensuse.org/search

I guess our users will find them ;-)

If you like post a message on the general
opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx list.

But I would like to recommend to be careful with the text
in such an announcement regarding support, maintenance,
warranty, and liability compare

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-09/msg00638.html

For background information you may have a look at

For the current newest HPLIP I think there might be
in particular problems with Qt4 (via python-qt4)
when it runs in openSUSE 11.0 (and perhaps also in 11.1)
because Qt4 is now the default (before it was Qt3 via python-qt).
But one can force that it is built with Qt3 via
a configure option setting.


Kind Regards
