Comment 3 for bug 480186

Thanks for your quick feedback. Answers:

2. One of the fourty packages is postfix. It asks the user to insert some data like "local only" or "internet" and some name. I can't describe it better but it has something to do with e-mail functionality (which is quite unrelated to printer drivers, isn't it?);

1. This is not a good option; the driver does not work as well as the splix driver.

A short comment. I know that patent rights are a hot topic these days, but it is not feasible for the mean user to visit the openprinting page, find out which package is the right one for him, download the .deb, install all dependencies (40!), fill out some e-mail related forms, etc. only to get his own printer to work. Peripherals drivers are one big problem between linux and its audience, indeed!

Wouldn't it be more user-friendly to ask the user about patented drivers during the usual splix package installation? If the user agrees, a full version of the package should be installed (via a licence acceptance, or something similar). Is this impossible?
