Bug#463814: hplip: Hplip fails to recognize correctly installed devices

[David Baron <d_baron@012.net.il>]

Package: hplip
Version: 2.7.10-5
Severity: normal

This may be related to previously fixed #386021 and other outstanding bugs.

I have a correctly installed HP deskjet with the recommended hpijs driver
and it works correctly.

I start the toolkit. It finds no devices.
So I try to configure the device, go through all the steps and on "finish",
am back with no devices or unsupported device.

Attempts to run the utilities get errors like:
warning: Inrecognized URI: parallel:/dev/lp0
warning: Inrecognized URI: parallel:/dev/lp0
error: No devices found.
error: Error occured during interactive mode. Exiting.
