I would be happy to address this further if I can get a better idea of what your solution is. I did make some changes in 1.6.9 to address this, and am sorry if it is still not adequate. If you could send a patch or diff file(s) so that I can fully see your solution, I will give it another look.

Don

hi hplip-team
well, it's my last attempt to convince you that setting umasks (I saw a
lot in the hplip python code) is nonsens. The user can define his own
umask for and if he/she don't care they use the system's defaults.
only security programs like ssh-keygen save files with hardcoded
permission bits.
imagine the discussion on a linux computer in a family with different
accounts. " eh, look at our last pictures from the weekend.... D'oh no
permission to see your fotos... ah, yeah...top secret, you know.."
finally for me I changed the os.umask settings in "unload" script,
because commenting out was not sufficient which is surely related to one
of the many points where umasks set in the hplip code.

harald
