Package: hplip
Version: 2.7.10-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

My variable LANG is currently set to fr_FR.ISO-8859-1

When I run hp-toolbox in a terminal (as normal user)  I get:
No installed HP devices found (in french ...)
Error: No device found or unsupported device.

If I set LANG to C, hp-toolbox gives now:

briefly: Error: no device found or unsupported device and after that
hp-toobox works fine (almost fine)

I specify that normal user is in the groups: lpadmin, scanner, fax.

How can we fix this problem ?
Thanks.

Dear Debian User,                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                    
Use of our limited, volunteer supported resources is best served by not                                             
keeping open inactive bugs any longer than desirable, especially in                                                 
cases where the package concerned is older than the current stable                                                  
Debian version and upstream support has been limited. Consequently, the                                             
report is now being closed.
