Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal-cups-utils
I have installed hal-cups-utils and system-
With all this installed I was expecting Plug'n'Print via HAL: A printer is plugged into the USB and then a program (/usr/lib/
There seem to be two problems:
1. HAL seems not to start /usr/lib/
2. Running "sudo /usr/lib/

attribute 'Foomatic'
----------
I did not find any class named "foomatic" or method named "Foomatic" in any of the Python libraries imported by /usr/lib/
How does this work in Xubuntu Gutsy (where it seems to be a standard feature) and how do I get it to work in Ubuntu Gutsy?

I have not tested this much in Xubutu Feisty either. I am not yet running Gutsy, not much time for Ubuntu these days.
There's a newer upstream version, feel free to upload that to Gutsy.
It is by no means locked by the Xubuntu team, any help is appreciated. If you make it work for Ubuntu it will definitely work
in Xfce as well. I hope I'll have some time later in the Gutsy timeframe to help out.
thanks
