Solution #1: integrate management printers drivers in "Hardware Driver" tool
Written by rsimone the 3 Oct 09 at 16:51.
In next ubuntu release (Karmic) I find that in hardware driver tool was integrated a dvb firmware installer. It's a good idea, but I think that would be appropriate to integrate a manager of printer driver end their graphical interfaces (example HPlip-gui package)

Add Hardware Drivers Section in Repos  
Written by neriman the 17 Nov 08 at 10:38. New
I found concept of repos very usefull. Also I found a problem with hardware drivers in linux's world very painfull.
Make it easier for future millions of users: add all available and existing hardware drivers to repos with clear name of new section: Hardware Drivers, possibly with some subcategories(webcams, tvcards, wirelles cards... etc.)
