please document in a README file (and at install time?) that if you want
to use a device supported by hplip as scanner you have to add your user
to group lp.


Riccardo,

This is documented in the NEWS file.

The NEWS file does not look to me the right place to write about 
instructions _necessary_ to have your device working. Especially if one 
has to dig to entries dated 3 years ago. I've attached a README.Debian 
with these instructions, feel free to add it or not.


Thanks,

Access to the full functionality of hplip; ink check, toolbox,
printing and scanning is now provided for members of the 'lp'
group.

Please note that you need to be a member of the group lpadmin
perform any administrative function on printers.

Source: hplip
Version: 3.11.12-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I always backport new versions of hplip to squeeze. This worked without
any problem so far...

But building v3.11.12-2 with pbuilder fails because in the debian/rules
step Correct Python interpreter path in all executables, readlink
fails to print ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/hp-hpdio because it links to the
absolute path /usr/share/hplip/hpdio.py, which is non-existing in the
pbuilder chroot.
All other links are relative paths,
e.g. ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/hp-firmware points
to ../share/hplip/firmware.py
Because readlink returns an empty value, the build process just hangs at
this step forever.

It seems that ./debian/tmp/usr/bin/hp-hpdio should also point to a
relative path.

Best regards

Ronny Standtke

Ronny,

I am closing your report as the new upstream release builds fine on the Debian 
pbuilders:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657047

debian/rules hasn't been modified, so I can't follow the logic in your report.

Happy to discuss further if you are still having this issue.

Mark
