Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for this package.

Please change this report into a backport request if our updates policy doesn't allow for an update

What I see on http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ is that the driver foo2zjs does not support the Xerox WorkCentre 6015 printer, for this you need another driver on foo2hbpl:

OK... I think that's we need foo2hbpl in mageia. All body can not make a install with a make and a make install i think.

This url http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/ works with my Xerox WorkCentre 6015 printer.

Readding comment #5 from 08-04-17 08:07, because it got lost when the old database was restored.

Why the foo2hbpl rpm for Dell 1355,Dell C1765 MFP, Epson AcuLaser CX17, Epson
AcuLaser M1400, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M215, Fuji
Xerox DocuPrint P205,Xerox Phaser 3010/3040, Xerox WorkCentre 3045, Xerox

I don't know, we don't seem to have them in cauldron, either. Where is the foo2hbpl source code now hosted? Here http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/foo2hbpl the project looks dead.

CC'ing the maintainer of most printer drivers, including cups-drivers-foo2zjs, and changing version to cauldron. (When the package is in cauldron, a request can be made to backport it for Mageia 6 or Mageia-then-stable)

Leaving the severity as "Normal" and not setting it to "Enhancement", as we normally do for package requests, because too many users won't manage to install it from the rkkda website, leaving them with a non-working printer.
