Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip
HP released the new HPLIP 3.9.2 one day after the Feature Freeze for Ubuntu Jaunty. Main changes are that now the UI is exclusively based on Qt 4 (our 2.8.12 package uses partially Qt3 and Qt4) and new printer models are supported. See full release notes below.
Main benefit for us is that the GUI part of the package (hplip-gui) does not depend on BOTH Qt3 and Qt4 any more.
I have packaged it and put it into my PPA. There is the source package, the debdiff, and also auto-generated binaries for testing.
Please consider this version for Jaunty.

Detailed Change Log
1. Fixed issue in hp-align for Qt4 so that align-type=4, 5, and 7 work correctly.

4. Fixed issues with "Unload Photo" and hp-unload when the device does not support pcard-type 1 (HP MLC filesystem). For USB filesystem devices, the toolbox now will properly produce a dialog box informing the user that they should use a standard USB mass storage device mount to unload their photos. hp-unload will now ignore USB devices instead of generating errors.

18. Added code in the installer to close hp-systray at end of install (closes hp-systray from 3.9.2+ only)
19. Added a simple hotplug notifier for devices that require a plugin or have a optional plugin. The message is only displayed to the console user for 30 seconds. If the message is displayed it simply informs the user to run hp-setup.
