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

[Iain Lane]

Why do people without HP kit need to have these packages installed?
Can't we be smarter and only install them on demand?

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.
