the user must be a member of the 'scanner' group, even if your

device doesn't support scanning. This is a consequence of the

way the udev rules are setup.

This does not effect (k)Ubuntu users as they use HAL to provide access

to the user logged at the console.

hplip (2.7.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
32
After some time at version 1.6 hplip has been upgraded to 2.7.10. This
33
was accomplished by taking the current state of the ubuntu packages
34
for hplip and porting the package to Debian GNU/Linux. Users should
35
be aware that there are a number of issues that are being worked though
36
and I urge people to report all and every issue though the Debian Bug
37
Tracking System (BTS), or providing comment against an existing report
38
if it too is effecting you in a way allready reported or with slight
41
I would also like to publically thank Henrique de Moraes Holschuh who has
42
done a great job with the hplip/hpijs packages for a number of years.

hp-photo is gone, its functionality has been folded into hp-unload. There is
49
also a new utility, hp-makecopies, which controls the copier function of some
50
of the multifunctional devices.
52
Support documentation is in the hplip-doc package, you must install it for the
53
"View Documentation" functionality of hp-toolbox to work.

Most of the user documentation for hplip is now shipped on the hplip-doc
60
package, as per upstream changes.
62
The fax support has been modified, and now faxes will not be sent if
63
hp-sendfax is not running. To send a fax, first you must run hp-sendfax.
64
After hp-sendfax is running, add the documents to be sent as a fax using
65
the hp-sendfax UI or at your option, print them to the fax queue using any
66
application. The jobs printed to the fax queue will show up in hp-sendfax

hplip (0.9.9-1) unstable; urgency=low
73
Fax support is enabled, but it is still mostly untested on the Debian
74
packages, and it has its set of rough edges. Temporary fax files will
75
end up in ~/hpfax/, feel free to delete them.
77
hpiod now uses user-space drivers (through libusb) to talk to all usb
78
devices (including printers). We have reverted hpiod to run as root
79
temporarily, because of that.

hplip (0.9.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
91
Thanks to an initial patch by Matthias Klose (from Ubuntu), HPLIP daemons
92
(hpiod and hpssd) now run under the hplip user, and lp group.
94
Unlike the original Ubuntu patch, Debian's changes are non-optional. HPLIP
95
running as root is not supported in Debian anymore, unless someone gives me
96
very strong reasons to revert this.
98
The only behaviour changes runing as non-root causes are that now hpiod and
99
hpssd will not be able to bind to reserved ports below 1024. This causes no
100
loss of functionality as far as I know, as there are very little good reasons
101
to run any of the daemons in a port below 1024, especially since they always
102
bind to localhost only.
104
In an up-to-date Debian Sarge system, all will work out-of-the-box. If it
105
doesn't work in a particular configuration, please make sure group lp has
106
write access to the USB lp devices, and so on.
