Bug Description

Before someone tears out his hear because the hp setup (latest is 3.9.2) tools gives errors when adding the printer.

Different distro's use different setup for cups. Mine is specific for gentoo..
The request is : Enhance the install procedure with a check for the default location.

On gentoo the installer won't work on adding the printer (last step in hp-setup)
While this should executed also, to get it working :
First location is setup by hp-setup, while gentoo uses the second location.

cp /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp* /usr/libexec/cups/backend/
cp /usr/lib/cups/filter/* /usr/libexec/cups/filter/

Furtheron for the HP site i want to post my configure line :

./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-qt3 --disable-pp-build --disable-foomatic-drv-install --enable-foomatic-ppd-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --disable-hpijs-only-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build --enable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install

And then check again.. Hope this is the solution for you.
