Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-notifier

Newer HP LaserJet printers which need firmware can also have the USB product ID "xx2a" and not only "xx17" as older models. See also the /lib/udev/rules.d/56-hpmud_support.rules of the HPLIP package. I have updated the code of update-notifier appropriately. A debdiff of my change for the package is attached. Please apply this trivial fix to Natty. I did a regression test with the HP LaserJet 1020.

Hey Till! Thanks a lot for your patch. I modified the test slightly for (IMO) easier readability:

    // only idVendor=03f0, idProduct="??{17,2a}" requires firmware
    if (g_strcmp0 (id_vendor, "03f0") != 0 ||
        id_product == NULL ||
        g_utf8_strlen(id_product, -1) != 4)
       return FALSE;
    if (! ( ((id_product[2] == '1') && (id_product[3] == '7')) ||
            ((id_product[2] == '2') && (tolower(id_product[3]) == 'a')) ))
       return FALSE;

Could you please double check and test (if you have the hardware)?
