Probably not only in GPL OSes. Of course the HP process, either hp-setup or hp-plugin, should tell you where/what it is downloading and where these files are being placed. I had hoped that would have been logged in /var/log/hp but it isn't. Hence my smiley face.... The files being added aren't PPD files, FWIW. For the curious, they can download http://hplip.sf.net/plugin.conf and then determine which plugin archive needs to be downloaded based on the version of hplip installed. In the 3.12.2 they would then need to download http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.12.2-plugin.run You can then look in the begining of that file to determine you can execute it with --list and have it return the list of files being added to your system. Using that bit of information you can find the files added....with a little bit of detective work. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
