new printing/scanning permission problem (solved)

HI,

Few days/week ago, I stopped being able to print and scan on my hp all-ini-one 1410 printer/scanner. I think I have access rights problems. Could that be linked with some updates? (udev?)

Anyway, I'dlike to solve this issue soon and stops beeing force scanning as a root! If I run lsusb as a regular user the printer is invisible. As root, she's not:

lsusb
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 15d9:0a37 Unknown Mouse
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
[10:12][manu@compal:~/Documents/Perso/Actualites/AF447]$ sudo lsusb
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 15d9:0a37 Unknown Mouse
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:4d11 Hewlett-Packard PSC 1400
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
[10:17][manu@compal:~/Documents/Perso/Actualites/AF447]$ scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[10:17][manu@compal:~/Documents/Perso/Actualites/AF447]$ sudo scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/PSC_1400_series?serial=BR63L3H0Z504BM' is a Hewlett-Packard PSC_1400_series all-in-one

My user belongs the scanner user but it seems that the printer device is not is the scanner group. Please could someone help me, I could not figure out a good solution for that. I tried to create a udev rule but I couldn't find the udevinfo program...

Re: new printing/scanning permission problem (solved)

I solved my problem, I could find that the printer belong to the lp groups by running

sudo hp-check
...
Device node: /dev/bus/usb/002/003 
....
ls -lh /dev/bus/usb/002/003
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 130 juin  10 10:43 /dev/bus/usb/002/003
sudo gpasswd -a manu lp

That's all folks.
