[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#458996: wrong entry for business_inkjet_1200 in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

[Vladimir G. Troitsky]

Package: hplip
Version: 2.7.10-5
Severity: important

hp-probe did not initially recognized my HP Business Incjet 1200. I've
got a tentative fix for the problem.

Here is the original diagnostics:

============ hp-probe output starts ==============================

warning: No devices found on the 'usb' bus. If this isn't the result
you are expecting,
warning: check to make sure your devices are properly connected and
powered on.

================== hp-probe output ends =================================

The fix: I manually edited

/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

and replaced [hp_business_inkjet_1200] with
[business_inkjet_1200]. Everything is working fine now:
