Anyway, just wanted to summarize current status here so the OpenPrinting
people remain in the loop as well.
1. Fingerprint SSL check does not work behind a proxy
We've checked the latest changes and the fingerprint is fetched
without any problems.
-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/729185
2. GPG keyserver access does not work behind a proxy
This has been reported on the mailing list before (IIRC) but after
getting the fingerprint correctly, this is the next proxy problem
that we hit.
-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/733023
3. GPG keyserver default port blocked by proxy
IIRC, Saito-san has suggested using a keyserver that listens on the
HTTP port (rather than the HKP one) on the list and I believe there
was a mail saying it got fixed, but the current sources refer to a
keyserver that listens on the HKP port.

4. Jockey not called by system-config-printer?
We seen some discrepancies in behaviour wrt the automatic printer
driver download depending on how the printer was "detected".
Connecting a USB printer worked fine. Running newprinter.py from
the command-line is also okay. However, when trying to add a USB
or network printer using system-config-printer nothing happened.
As in no attempt to have jockey download a driver was made.
I'll submit a bug report against system-config-printer later as I
don't have the details handy at the moment.
Hope this helps,
