Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip
After upgrading to Natty on an Acer laptop which earlier ran 10.10 successfully, my HP Laserjet 1020 printer asks for driver reinstallation after every reboot.
A notification popup is shown, "Proprietary driver required" and then the hplip automatically ask if it should download. If I accept, the driver is redownloaded and reinstalled. If doing nothing and/or exiting the hplip installation, the printer won't work.
Tried different printer drivers but without success. In 10.10 i just connected the printer, the hplip installation appeared once and everything worked great after.
I've also tried to invoke the printer installation by running sudo hp-plugin-ubuntu and thereby giving it full privileges, but nothing changes.
