Yes, there are some triggers to recognize hp multifunctional printers
and to download and install firmware on hp laserjet 10xx series, and it
would be great if we could test if it is working properly, since these
features are supported by printerdrake, and we want to minimize the
regressions :)
It is good to remember the people who will test that this new printing
system does not make mandriva recognize printers that printerdrake does
not recognize. The same database is used, so if your printer does not
work by using printerdrake, probably it won't work in the new system too.

Thanks
