The latest HPLIP 2.7.7 on http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/ has a /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules with less restrictive default permissions for USB device nodes, see the RPM changelog: ------------------------------------------------------------------ * Tue Aug 07 2007 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Changed /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules (via a change in change-udev-rules.diff) from OWNER="root" GROUP="lp" MODE="0660" to OWNER="root" GROUP="lp" MODE="0664" (i.e. allow read permissions for HP USB device files for normal users). Reason: Without read permissions even a simple command like "lsusb" cannot list HP USB devices to normal users which could cause unnecessary confusion. Furthermore have only read permissions for HP USB device files for normal users is in compliance to the default assumptions in upstream HPLIP and it should be sufficiently secure because for retrieving data from the device a matching request must be sent to the device which requires write permissions. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I provide for testing HPLIP 2.7.7 for the released openSUSE 10.2 and Suse Linux 10.1 and Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (SLE 10) and for the openSUSE development version openSUSE "factory" for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64) via the openSUSE build service at http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ The packages are * only for testing * without any guarantee or warranty * without any support As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem. Nevertheless, I am very interested in your feedback because the more people test it, the more problems (even hidden problems) are revealed. If you find a problem and you assume it is not a general HPLIP issue but a Novell/Suse-specific issue, please follow the instructions in http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports and http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ how to send me feedback or bug reports via the openSUSE Bugzilla. Choose the component "Printing" (also for scanning/faxing with HPLIP). Make it obvious which package, which package version, which hardware architecture and which openSUSE version you are talking about, e.g.: "Feedback regarding hplip-2.7.7-23.1.i586.rpm and hplip-hpijs-2.7.7-23.1.i586.rpm from http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ for openSUSE 10.2 used on 64-bit AMD hardware." Ideally provide also the "rpm -q --changelog hplip | head" output to make it unambiguous which exact package release you have. The openSUSE Bugzilla is a bug tracking system but no support forum. This means that my packages are in any case without any support. Some special notes reagarding my packages: We (i.e. Novell/Suse) provide /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules with more explicite permission settings than HP's original and additionally for the newest kernel/udev machinery in the openSUSE development version openSUSE "factory" we match also against "usb": ------------------------------------------------------------------ # TODO: add PROGRAM rule for 7/xx/xx printer class interface SUBSYSTEM=="usb", GOTO="hpmud_rules_continue" # For backward compatibility match also against "usb_device": SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GOTO="hpmud_rules_continue" GOTO="hpmud_rules_end" LABEL="hpmud_rules_continue" ACTION!="add", GOTO="hpmud_rules_end" SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", OWNER="root", GROUP="lp", MODE="0664" LABEL="hpmud_rules_end" ------------------------------------------------------------------ The reason is that since whatever newer kernel version "usb_device" events are no longer emitted by the kernel. It is just "usb" now and therefore 55-hpmud.rules must be adapted accordingly, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294161 and for some background information see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659 and in particular its consequences regarding scanners start at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659#c21 For more details regarding my current packages, see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0707040850200.22081%40nelson.suse.de Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
