update to latest version of hplip 2.8.10

the packaged hplip didn't support fast-draft printing with a c4380. In fact, there was a choice box to set it, but it had no effect.
I had to compile the 2.8.10 from upstream to be able to use this feature.

Unfortunately, the upstream source of HPLIP 2.8.10 is broken and cannot be released as a package without a patch from HP. See bug 299011. As soon as this problem is fixed the new HPLIP will get packaged.

This bug was fixed in the package hplip - 2.8.10-0ubuntu1

Will it be included in Interpid backports?

Johnny

bump...
I just bought a c5380 printer...

any chance of seeing this in backports?

Please also backport to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron): HP CM1312nfi MFP support would be much appreciated there.
