[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#610928: Backward compatibility script needed for HP PPD upgrade

[Till Kamppeter]

The Debian packages of HPLIP (hplip, hplip-cups, hpijs, and hpijs-ppds) 
should generally update the PPDs of the existing print queues to the 
current packages version in the post-install scripts. Can you attach the 
PPD(s) which did not get updated automatically to this bug report? Thanks.
