Title: Automatic plug-in installation not working under Ubuntu Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: Invalid Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “policykit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have packaged HPLIP 3.11.12 for Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and I have also backported this package to Oneiric (11.10, package in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa). With the binary package hplip-gui and all its dependencies installed the plug-in should be downloaded and installed automatically if a printer gets connected which requires the plug-in, via the newly added feature of HPLIP 3.11.12. It seems that when hp-systray calls hp-plugin, hp-plugin gets run as normal user (not as root) and then it is not able to install the files of the plug-in in subdirectories of /usr/share/hplip and /etc where only root has write access. What needs to be done here is to use PolicyKit or tools like gksudo. Is such a thing actually used?
