RHBA-2011:0058 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated hplip packages that resolve several issues are now available.

Description

The hplip (Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing Project) provides drivers
for HP printers and multi-function peripherals.

These updated hplip packages fix the following bugs:

• The libsane-hpaio package no longer depends on the hpijs package. (BZ#457440)
• Some Python scripts used the interpreter line '#!/usr/bin/env python' and

during the execution, they might have been using an incorrect Python version.
With this update, the interpreter line is changed and uses the path
/usr/bin/python. (BZ#521857)

All hplip users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
