Comment 17 for bug 1712019

I can confirm that the fix works. Well done.

I have used Ubuntu for many years and have installed it for family and
friends. I initially recommended HP printers because HPLIP worked so well.
5 years ago we downsized and I wanted to archive a lot of stuff and HP did
not have a suitable machine for duplex scanning and printing. The Epson
machine is excellent but installing the drivers was always a bit of a pain.
17.04 was a revelation and I immediately stopped using 16.04. I suppose you
can now use most printers but my sister (in USA) has a Cannon - that was a
real pain.

Many thanks for your hard work.
