Package: libsane-hpaio
Version: 3.17.6+repack0-2
Severity: wishlist
The Debian packaging of hplip is good. Want to set up a printer?
Install printer-driver-hpcups. No need for hplip in its entirety;
lpadmin and other utilities take care of setting up the queue.
Want to access a network scanner? Install libsane-hpaio. Hplip is
not needed as long as saned.conf and net.conf are set up correctly
on server and client in /etc/sane.d/.
When it comes to a USB connected scanner it is different and more
complicated; libsane-hpaio is not sufficient because, without
56-hpmud.rules, there will be no ACL for a USB device when it is
attached to the computer. /dev/sg* has one, but that is useless
without an ACL for a device in /dev/bus/usb/*/*.
So, why not put 56-hpmud.rules in the libsane-hpaio package? A
user who installs hplip with all its recommended packages will
have the same experience as now. Getting 56-hpmud.rules without
libsane-hpaio is neither here nor there (AFAICT) for someone who
does not want recommended packages.
Cheers,
Brian.

At the time this was written, that was wishful speculation. #807427,
#838212 and #816899.

I do not think this going to fly, is it? One of the rules invokes
hp-config_usb_printer, which is in the hplip package. The tool is
used to detect a plugin and download firmware to the device.
I suppose libsane-hpaio could have its own rules file but, meanwhile,
copying hplip's over seems to work.
