Fixed In Version: hplip-3.12.4-6.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the udev rules files were not in the correct location on the file system. As a consequence, permissions on the device node after connecting a device were insufficient. This update moves the udev rules files to the correct location, and udev rules now work correctly in the described situation.

Description Tim Waugh 2013-01-28 16:56:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
The hplip 3.12.4 re-base puts its udev rules in the wrong location.  Instead of /usr/lib/udev/rules.d it should be /lib/udev/rules.d.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hplip-3.12.4-4.el6

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect a multi-function device.
2.Try scanning.
  
Actual results:
Insufficient permissions on device node.
Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2013-01-30 14:58:26 UTC 
Proposing as a blocker as without the very simple fix scanning with locally attached scanners would be completely broken and a regression from RHEL-6.3.

Thanks & regards, Phil
Comment 3 Phil Knirsch 2013-01-30 16:04:45 UTC 
After discussion we agreed that local scanners aren't a critical use case so we're moving the fix to be addressed in RHEL-6.5.

Thanks & regards, Phil

Comment 12 Joost Ringoot 2013-10-30 21:00:11 UTC 
xsane works for root. 

I tried  working around the issue by making symbolic links in /lib/udev/rules.d to all the files in: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/*

like this:
ln -s /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/* /lib/udev/rules.d/

xsane still doesn't work for the user.

I removed the links and copied the files from /usr/lib/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev/rules.d 

xsane still doesn't work for the user.

If you have a workaround, please add it as a comment.

Thanks,

Correction on the previous comment: copying the files to the correct location helps,... only after reboot.
Udev rules are read only at boot.
