I cannot access my hp printer through /usr/bin/hp-toolbox. I cannot print either. I get access denied. It works as root.
My userId belongs to lp group.
The udev stuff is:
| Code: | cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hpmud.rules
# Udev rules file for HP printer products.
ACTION!="add", GOTO="hpmud_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb|usb_device", GOTO="hpmud_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}!="usb_device" ,GOTO="hpmud_rules_end"
# Check for AiO products (0x03f0xx11).
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="??11", MODE="0666", GROUP="lp"
# Check for Photosmart products (0x03f0xx02).
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="??02", MODE="0666", GROUP="lp"
# Check for Business Inkjet products (0x03f0xx12).
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="??12", MODE="0666", GROUP="lp"
# Check for Deskjet products (0x03f0xx04).
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="??04", MODE="0666", GROUP="lp"
# Check for LaserJet products (0x03f0xx17).
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="??17", MODE="0666", GROUP="lp"
LABEL="hpmud_rules_end"

What could be the problem? This just came up on me. Worked all along. I downgraded, but it is the same. |

Check the permissions of the printer "device" in /dev/ - e.g. I have:
| Code: | $ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 2008-04-16 01:21 /dev/usb/lp0 |
