HPLIP no longer on the Server CD
Hello everyone,
In order to free up some room on the server ISO, starting from Maverick Alpha3 we removed HPLIP from the install CD. That freed ~ 14 Mb of various dependencies like SANE or gphoto2, which don't really make sense on a server anyway. HPLIP used to be installed when you selected the "Print Server" task at the end of the install. You will now have to install it from the network (sudo apt-get install hplip) if you really own HP printers that could take advantage of its presence. Note that HPIJS is still on the CD, as a direct dependency of CUPS. Let me know if that creates any issue, or if you want to propose something that should be removed instead. -- Thierry Carrez Ubuntu server team -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam |
HPLIP no longer on the Server CD
Makes sense. I fear there are many differences between Internet facing servers and Intranet servers. *Facing up to that implies two separate "server" CDs.
