I will do that ONLY if you cannot fix the bug in 3.10.2 which is the current version for Kubuntu 10.04.

I used to install all new versions of software when they came out. This practice got me totally out of step with the current version for a distribution. This made upgrading to new distribution upgrades a nightmare. A lot of my software was so out of step with the distribution that maintaining it was a real headache.

I no longer try to keep the latest releases for this reason. I stay with what is current for the current distribution software. That lets the distribution developers keep up with software releases and work out bugs with the distribution from one distribution upgrade to the next.

This bug has been in HPLIP for at least 2 upgrades of Kubuntu and I have posted about it previously on previous versions of Kubuntu and it has not been fixed.

So I have little to no confidence that my getting out of synch with the Kubuntu developers is going to buy me anything.

If you cannot fix it by 3.10.2, why should I believe that you have fixed it in 3.10.6?

I currently have 3 different HP printers and have stuck with HP printers because of the support received in the past. Please tell me that you are capable of fixing the bug for 3.10.2.
