--- Comment #13 from Johannes Meixner ---
Martin Wilck,
can you provide some facts behind why you think
"lots of printers out there will stop working"
regardless that I wrote in comment #11 that
"for each HPLIP <model>-hpijs.ppd.gz PPD file
there is a matching <model>.ppd.gz PPD file
(the PPD files without 'hpijs' use HPCUPS)"
so that all models where HPIJS works should be
also supported by HPCUPS.
In other words:
What HP printers out there where HPIJS works
do not also work with HPCUPS?
In the past when I had a HP inkjet printer I preferred HPIJS
for the same reasons and because for my needs it "just worked"
so I had no reason to switch to HPCUPS.
But I have no longer any inkjet printer (I have a PostScript printer)
so I have no longer any personal experience with HPIJS or HPCUPS
nor can I test any of them.
Simply put:
Nowadays I "maintain" HPLIP basically totally blind
(HP PostScript printers don't need any HPLIP stuff)
which is the reason behind why in practice
I do no longer really maintain HPLIP.
