[Bug 805016] New: HPLIP nags me to install proprietary plug-in although printer works
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805016 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805016#c0 Summary: HPLIP nags me to install proprietary plug-in although printer works Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@suse.com ReportedBy: teuniz@gmail.com QAContact: jsmeix@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Package: hplip Version: 3.12.4-3.1.2 Hi, I have an HP LaserJet P2055. Every time I turn on the printer, hplip pops up a message box: "Driver Plug-In Required. HP Device requires proprietary plug-in which is missing. Press Next to continue plug-in installation." This is not true. My printer works fine without any proprietary plug-in. Perhaps the plug-in adds some feature to the driver, but it is nothing that I need. I think that a) the message should not display unless the plug-in is really necessary, b) if it does display, then it should not say that the plug-in is required when it is not, c) at the very least, there should be an option: "Do not display this message again". Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install HPLIP via Yast 2. Connect a HP Laserjetprinter via USB 3. Switch on the printer Actual Results: I have an HP LaserJet P2055. Every time I turn on the printer, hplip pops up a message box: "Driver Plug-In Required. HP Device requires proprietary plug-in which is missing. Press Next to continue plug-in installation." Expected Results: There should no popup message box. My printer works fine without any proprietary plug-in. -- 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.
