Printer Driver Contribution

[David Collett]

Sorry to hijack the thread, but "Printer Driver Contribution" seems
like an appropriate place to say this...

Can I suggest adding the package "cupsys-driver-gimpprint" to 'main'
and making it a core ubuntu package (gimp-print is already in 'main')
?

It really adds support for a LOT of very common printers to ubuntu's
gnome-cups-manager, and may help many people whose printer would not
otherwise appear in the list. Furthermore, the package is not an
intuitive one for a new user to add if their printer is not listed
without it.

Thanks,
Dave
