[Bug 802304] Re: FFe: Take hplip-gui into the standard installation/live session of Ubuntu/Edubuntu

[Till Kamppeter]

OK, let us seed it in the week when the archive for P opens, to get full
6 months of intense testing, to let the testers be greeted with HPLIP's
crash reports directly in the beginning of the cycle. Then I will do
some calls for testing on the mailing list and on the UDS and on the
Sprint. As I can buy HP printers worth 10000 USD every year on HP's
costs, so I can buy some printers for UDSes and Sprints (which will
travel from event to event like all this network and music equipment). I
can also buy HP printers for certain key developers of Ubuntu,
especially in the desktop area.

In addition, HP is taking care of making HPLIP compatible with all
important distros. So I can carry on all testing results and bug reports
to HP and help them to improve their distro integration.

Bug description:
  Now, where Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu (Oneiric) has Qt on the desktop CD,
  we can get the full functionality of HP's printer driver suite HPLIP
  into the GNOME-based flavors of Ubuntu. We only need to seed hplip-gui
  and users get the HP Toolbox (hp-toolbox), the GUI for sending faxes
  (hp-sendfax), the GUI for the automatic download of firmware files
  (hp-plugin), ...

  So we should add hplip-gui to the desktop seeds.
