Re: [gentoo-user] hplip recompiled with scanner use flag now scanning works, printing does not.

[ubiquitous1980 <nixuser1980@gmail.com>]

Some success!

By changing the permissions by:

chmod a=rw /dev/bus/usb/005/005 I get printing (Scanning still works
also).  However simply adding the groups and rebooting does not. 
Therefore, I am still completely at a loss.  Not pragmatic to have to
set permissions on a moving target each boot.  Any ideas how to proceed
from here?

Thanks
