--- Comment #6 from Kiel Tux
Sigh... I wished HPLIP upstream would pay a bit more attention to issues when Linux distributions build their software from its sources than to tell everybody to download the newest HPLIP version and install it via the HPLIP installer, compare https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1018303/comments/2
I submitted hplip to "Printing" via submitrequest 149796 and forwarded it to openSUSE:Factory as submitrequest 149797 with this RPM changelog text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Create /var/log/hp/tmp/ directory that is needed by hp-sendfax as a workaround until HPLIP upstream implemented it correctly see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016507 (bnc#800312). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The /var/log/hp/tmp/ directory is installed as drwxrwxr-x root lp /var/log/hp/tmp
I assume adding the user to the group "lp" is required so that hp-sendfax works for this user because otherwise the user cannot write in /var/log/hp/tmp
This is the "funny" part. My test user was later no more in the group "lp" (this was just the case earlier in my tests). But fax sending works with: drwxrwxr-x root lp /var/log/hp/tmp (like in my description) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
