cannot access hplip as normal user

I installed Arch a few days ago.  I was able to use hp-toolbox as my normal user id. Now I am not.  It says no Hp devices found.  I can use hp-toolbox as root, no problem.

    Device URI: hp:/usb/Photosmart_C3100_series?serial=CN65QB41HJ04KV
    Device node: /dev/bus/usb/002/002

getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/bus/usb/002/002
# owner: root
# group: lp

other::rw-

I have no idea whart happened.  I think the only I did was setup my camera.

Any ideas?

Re: cannot access hplip as normal user

I see what I did.

I did "Configuring locales".

I added

 en_US.UTF8    UTF-8
en_US  ISO-8859-1

to /etc/locale.gen and did

 locale-gen

and then I cannot access hplip as normal user.  wow

I  took it out and no problem.

Why is this?

Re: cannot access hplip as normal user

Can you post o/p of:

ls -lh /dev/bus/usb/002/

I have no idea exactly, but I see the USB I/O Setup that you posted is using "getfacl" - AFAIK, ACL's are different to POSIX Permissions (I stand to be corrected?)
