[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#596467: libsane-hpaio: only works if hplip is installed

[Sascha Silbe]

Package: libsane-hpaio
Version: 3.10.6-1
Severity: important


This took me quite some time to figure out: libsane-hpaio only works if
a) hp-setup -i is used to set up the CUPS print queue and
b) hplip is installed

Using "Add Printer" and selecting the auto-discovered Officejet 4500 won't get libsane-hpaio working.
As soon as hplip is removed libsane-hpaio will stop finding the scanner.

So libsane-hpaio should depend on hplip. Or maybe hplip-data; since hlip-data depends on hplip I can't figure out which one is required.

It would also be nice to mention a) in a new file /usr/share/doc/libsane-hpaio/README.Debian.
