Bug#522543: Solved: Scanning only as root --> saned must be amember of group lp
Package: hplip
Severity: normal
I had problems to get access to my HP printers (OJ 6110 all-in-one and
DJ694C) via hp-toolbox and I had no access to scanning, the solution was:
1st) add yourself to the group lp, access via hp-toolbox
2nd) add saned user to group lp
I tried this after hp-check gave me following status, seems that reading is
not enough to get access to the devices, because otherwise we are in group
"other".
