--- Comment #2 from Johannes Meixner jsmeix@suse.com 2011-11-09 15:32:43 UTC --- It never happened for me (i.e. I cannot reproduce it).
We have a /usr/bin/hp-systray.wrapper which is called by the desktop magic via "Exec=hp-systray.wrapper" in /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop but as far as I can imagine this cannot be the reason for 100% CPU usage for the process "python /usr/bin/hp-systray".
Therefore there should be better workarounds than to deinstall HPLIP: Either try out if it helps to remove /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop so that hp-systray is no longer started automatically during desktop startup (starting hp-toolbox starts hp-systray automatically) or try out if it helps to enlarge the sleep time e.g. to "sleep 30" in /usr/bin/hp-systray.wrapper to give the desktop stuff more time to start up or try out if it helps to move the /usr/bin/hp-systray away so that it can no longer be started at all. The HPLIP printer and scanner drivers should not need a running hp-systray so that plain printing and scanning should work even without a running hp-systray. Only the hp-toolbox may require a running hp-systray (see above).
Very likely this issue is not caused by the openSUSE distribution efforts of the HPLIP software so that the responsibility for this issue is upstream, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status
Accordingly I close it as "upstream".
Please report the issue directly to HPLIP upstream via http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html
