[Foo2zjs-maintainer] Bug#545950: foo2zjs: upstreams supports mc1690mf, debian package does not

[Florian Reitmeir]

Package: foo2zjs
Version: 20090301dfsg-5
Severity: important


Hello,

upstreams support the printer 
    minolta mc1690MF
now for some months, and there are updates to the package, but not to the printer support in question.

and even less nicely, it looks like upstream and the packager don't like each other, because its not possible
to install upstream _and_ the package at the same time without breaking one of them.

if the problem is non free whatever, it would be nice for the user if it would possible to install the nonfree stuff
for them self.

please add support for the printer, like upstream does.o
