As always we ship the version which was up to date when our package version upgrade deadline for the particular product was (here for openSUSE 11.1). We cannot ship a version which had become released after our package version upgrade deadline for openSUSE 11.1. There is no need to file an enhancement request to ship an up to date version for the upcomming openSUSE 11.2 because as always we will ship the version which will be up to date when our package version upgrade deadline for our next product will be. In the meantime you can try out Raymond Wooninck's HPLIP who provides currently HPLIP version 3.9.4b, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-04/msg00283.html and additionally you may have a look at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-04/msg00506.html According to Aaron Albright's comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/290559 on 2008-11-18 it is already fixed upstream. Therefore it should be already fixed in HPLIP version 3.9.4b. If not, please file an upstream bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/ -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When it is an upstream bug, we report it upstream and - if possible - we fix it but we usually fix it only for our next product version (currently openSUSE 11.2). Reasons for "not backporting": 1. Lack of time, compare http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-04/msg00003.html 2. We provide only fixes for really severe bugs in released openSUSE versions (in particular security bugs). The reason behind this policy is the "lack of time" problem. In contrast for our business products like Suse Linux Enterprise Server and Desktop (SLES and SLED) we can provide also fixes for normal bugs if it can be fixed in the current package version and if the fix does not break anything else and if the customer has an appropriate support contract with us (we offer several levels of support for SLES and SLED). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
