Problem with HP toolbox

I went to check my fancy options that come with the hplip package's hp-toolbox and found that it wouldn't load, giving this message:

$ hp-toolbox

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.7.4)
HP Device Manager ver. 10.0

Copyright (c) 2001-7 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-toolbox", line 159, in <module>
    toolbox = DevMgr4(hpiod_sock, hpssd_sock, toolboxCleanup, __version__)
  File "/usr/share/hplip/ui/devmgr4.py", line 152, in __init__
    self.user_settings = utils.UserSettings()
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 541, in __init__
    self.load()
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/utils.py", line 643, in load
    self.cmd_scan = user_cfg.commands.scan or self.cmd_scan
AttributeError: 'UserSettings' object has no attribute 'cmd_scan'

I did some basic google research and came up with nothing.  I thought I should check on the forums before filing a bug report, and I also wanted to make sure that filing a bug directly to HP would be the best idea.

Thanks!

Re: Problem with HP toolbox

It seems you are not the only one with this problem (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32325), but it works fine here.

If you can install one of
"xsane", "kooka", or "xscanimage", the error should go away.
