After upgrading to net-print/hplip-3.13.2-r1, whenever I attempt to scan, I get a dialog saying that I need to install the binary plugin. So, I walk through the installation process and it tells me that I have installed the plugin successfully. But then, an error comes up, saying that I must have canceled out of the install or the plugin install failed. Any way in which I install the plugin, including "sh hplip-version-plugin.run" is not seen by the user. After downgrading to hplip-3.12.10a, everything works correctly. What I find most interesting is that doing a hp-check under both versions as root shows that the plugin is installed, and as user, shows that the plugin is not installed. Yet with the old version, it works and scans as it should. I have posted the hp-check info at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-952040.html Thanks

Same issue over here :/
Had the same problem. Looking at the output from hp-check -t I found: hp-check -t ... Current contents of '/var/lib/hp/hplip.state' file: Plugins are not installed. Could not access file: Permission denied /var/lib/hp actually has permissions 644 after the upgrade to 3.13.2 Changing it manually to 755 (sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/hp) solved the problem for me. I have reported this also on the hplip bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1133486

Confirming that!

Recently there were permission issues with /var/log/hp which have been fixed. Looking at the source code there is the following in base/g.py: in hplip-3.12.10a if not os.path.exists('/var/lib/hp/') and os.geteuid() == 0: os.makedirs('/var/lib/hp/') os.system('chmod 644 /var/lib/hp/') in hplip-3.13.2 if not os.path.exists('/var/lib/hp/') and os.geteuid() == 0: os.makedirs('/var/lib/hp/') cmd = 'chmod 644 /var/lib/hp/' os_utils.execute(cmd) Maybe this change caused the issue. Probably it did not work before and now it does. However a directory shouldn't have 644 permissions at all.
