I appreciate your help to generate better HAL fdi files where all devices get the exact right info.capabilities assigned - just have a look at the sane-backends and hplip packages how it is done now so that you could povide patches how to generate better HAL files. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
