New version 1.6.9 available in hplip site.
Copiyng 1.6.7 ebuild in portage overlay and renaming it to 1.6.9 compiles ok in
x86 (using an AMd Athlon Xp 2600+).
After compilation, i tried to print a cups test page in cups web administration
page, a hp test page using /usr/share/hplip/toolbox and a 4 page document using
Acrobat Reader, and it works OK.
I can confirm that this compiles well, and works well. In fact, all previous
versions currently in portage won't let me scan, but 1.6.9 seems to have fixed
the problem
