Reported against version 2.8.12-6 currently in testing
(https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2008-11236)

Release 2.8.12 adds scanning support quite some newly supported
scanners, among them my HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP multifunctional,
compared to the current F10 release.

For my HP it however requires a binary plugin from HP, which it tries to
install automatically, but fails.

It downloads:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-2.8.12-plugin.run

It aborts with:
./hplip-2.8.12-plugin.run: line 369: ./hplip-plugin-install: Permission denied
(even when run as root, which is required by the script)

When the --keep parameter is used for the script (manual install) it
apparently installs, but xsane 0.996 reports "Error during device I/O"
when it tries to connect to the scanner.

Note that hp-scan does not work for this scanner (yet), which is a known
issue: http://hplipopensource.com/node/312

Users with a non-open source HP driver therefore may not benefit from
this update.

This is why proprietary plug-ins are bad news.  There's absolutely
nothing we can do about this.  Please report it to HP.

Title:
  hplip-gui can not install plugin for HP LaserJet 1020 under 8.10

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hplip-gui

  I am using 8.10 with my HP LaserJet 1020 printer. This kind of printer
  requires a "firmware" to be downloaded before printing tasks. I
  installed the hplip-gui to do this. Whilst I run "HP Toolbox", and
  click "Download Firmware" there is nothing happen in the printer, an
  later I have got an error message.

  I have seen the green "Install Required Plugin" icon, and then click
  on it. But still nothing happen and the "Download Firmware" icon is
  still not work at all.

  At last, I have tried to use CLI rather GUI to do this. I run the
  command "sudo hp-setup" in a console. An installation guild dialogue
  appears and then I can go through the steps. Now it works just
  perfectly.

  I suppose this is an issue of security. If "install required plugin"
  can only running as root, then we should have another link under
  "System Management" and then run through gksudo. This can avoid the
  confusing of newbies.
