 |
|
After upgrading to hplip-3.9.8, hp-toolbox and xsane stopped working. I've searched the forums, but I found no up to date posts about this problem.
Running hp-setup (as root) works just fine, it detects my printer, it appears ok in cups manager as well. But when I run hp-toolbox as normal user, I got the following:

Although this is not the biggest problem, because printing works through cups, I just would like to have acces to tools like ink levels etc.
But xsane is not working with my normal user, I just got the message, that no device found. Running as root, everything works just fine.
Note: I tried to revert to previous version, to play around with the USE flags, but no success. My user is in the scanner group as well.

OK, I solved it. I did the following things, I don't exactly know, what was it.
- re-emerged udev
- added my user to lp group
- removed /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hplip.rules
- re-emerged hplip
- re-run hp-setup
- restart
Now everything works just fine. |
