hp-toolbox, need to "start printer" after each reboot
Hi,
I got a HP C4580 Wi-Fi printer. Everytime I boot I need to run hp-toolbox and go to Printer Control -> Start Printer. Can this be automated at boot? I also added myself to the group lp, but hp-toolbox still wants the root password for it to work.
Thanks!

I dont use hp printers...but you can try adding the command to NOPASSWD in sudoers. and then adding the command to your .xinitrc
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
