Comment 30 for bug 173857

Hmm... Maybe I'm just going senile/paranoid/crazy... but is the hplip team actually continuously breaking ever more of the printing system (and actually releasing these backward steps!)? I know they are working on making a good printing system, but is it really acceptable for a (rather major) bug which didn't exist in older versions, which makes the current versions unusable for some, which is now present in most linux distributions, to just be ignored?
