[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#683033: Is There a Patch to Fix This Bug in Testing?

[Mark Phillips]

Hello,

I understand from the bug report that this bug has been fixed in the
experimental package for hplip. However, I would like to point out that
this bug prevents any scanning with HP OfficeJet Pro L7600 scanners (and
others???). Scanning had been working for many years before the release of
hplip 3.12.6-3, and now it is broken.

Is there any way to get a patch to fix this bug into testing so all of us
who depend on scanning can get back to work? ;) I think waiting for the
experimental release to migrate down to testing or stable will take some
time.

I have tried downgrading to the previous release, and that enables
scanning, but then it prevents other packages from being upgraded and
installed and creates an aptitude mess for (at least) my amd64 system, and
probably for others. It also seems the ubuntu folks are having similar
issues as well.

Thanks,

Mark Phillips
