Description: HP Linux Printing and Imaging - HPIJS PPD files
 This package contains PPD (printer definition) files for the
 printers supported through the HP Linux Printing and Imaging
 System HPIJS driver.
 .
 These PPDs should work well with the matching versions of HPLIP
 and HPIJS, but may not be the most up-to-date PPDs available for
 a given printer. See http://www.openprinting.org/ for the latest
 version of the PPDs (which are not guaranteed to work well).

Hi Mark,

I assume you are trying to assign a bug in debian to a specific binary package.

The problem here is that LP doesn't know anything about debian binaries, it only import debian sources. If you use 'hplip' (source name) it should be fine.

Please confirm if that's the scenario where the bug happens and I will discuss possible alternatives with the launchpad-bugs team.

Celso,

Thanks for the followup.

Yes that is the exact problem. I have filed quite a few bugs against hplip in
launchpad. But had an issue with this one.

Perhaps just make a note on launchpad that it should be source package names
rather than binaries.
