David outlined a number of reasons why the hplip stack is really less
than ideal from a desktop integration perspective. So yes, I still think
that hplip and assorted gui tools are not the solution we want and do
not really move us closer to the goal of making printing suck less.

before making the comment about the icon. If the VNC icon is just a
company icon in disguise, the same comment applies there too.
