this, when
it isn't integrated correctly into the tool set we're putting out for
managing printers on the desktop.
Well, the end user is supposed to get the hp:/ URI automatically, at least
since hal-cups-utils-0.6.3-1:
* Tue Jan 02 2007 Tim Waugh <twaugh(a)redhat.com> 0.6.3-1
- 0.6.3:
- Applied all patches.
- Added syslogging.
- Use 'hp:' URIs when appropriate (bug #175555).
- Put PPD NickName in info line instead of just 'Added by HAL'.
- Don't add/remove new printer if one already exists with a matching URI.
The reason you didn't get the hp: URI is probably that hplip wasn't installed
when you plugged in the device.
