Ubuntu daily mantic

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

We are switching back to using .debs to provide the base printing capability for Ubuntu 23.04.

I'm leaving the gnome-control-center task open since we do need to update gnome-control-center to support using Snaps instead.

@jeremy, do you mean Ubuntu 23.10 instead of 23.04?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

I unfixed it unintentionally as regards hplip, though, see bug #2033129.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

I think this is still Fix Released, the cups deb is back in main, hplip has been force demoted to make everything sort of work (well no hp drivers but that's tracked elsewhere).
