Hi,

many of you probably have an HP printer and use it with HP's great free 
software driver suite HPLIP. Feisty has currently HPLIP 1.7.1 and this 
is probably what we get as final version as Feisty final will hit the 
mirrors in three weeks.

Unfortunately, HPLIP 1.7.1 has many bugs, see

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bugs

and the release notes of HPLIP 1.7.2 and 1.7.3:

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/release_notes.html

To get as many as possible of them fixed in Feisty, I have packaged 
HPLIP 1.7.3, but to get this into Feisty we need at least five positive 
testing reports (as we are already in Upstream Version Freeze). Please go to

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/98520

and do the steps in my "CALL FOR TESTING" (2nd and 3rd posting) and add 
your report, even if there are already more than five reports. The more 
the better.

I am very grateful for your reports.

    Till
