Hello guys,

as i'm writing this, hplip-3.11.7 should have been uploaded by the buildsystem.
This is quite a big update, as before we had 3.11.3a, and it was necessary to skip
one version, as Mandriva already has 3.11.5 and so an upgrade from Mandriva
to Mageia will be blocked by hplip, as hplip requires Perl and upgrade will fail.
After there is some feedback from cauldron users this will be submitted to
Mageia 1 updates_testing, fixing one upgrade blocker from Mandriva.

hplip-3.11.7 adds support for these printers:

- HP DeskJet 3050A J611 series
- HP LaserJet 100 Color MFP M175
- HP LaserJet Professional M1216nfh MFP
- HP LaserJet Professional M1219nf MFP

and support for the following was added in 3.11.5

- HP Designjet T790ps 24in
- HP Designjet T790ps 44in
- HP Designjet T1300 Postscript
- HP LaserJet M4555 MFP
- HP LaserJet Professional m1214nfh MFP

It also brings the following significant new features:

- Added LEDM ADF Scan support&  LEDM Wireless support

Full changelog is available upstream:

Also note there were quite some issues fixed.


Please test and report back!
