Bug Description
The GUI parts of HPLIP still use the now deprecated gksu. Here PolicyKit should be used instead. In a simple approach one could replace the gksu calls by pkexec calls or a more sophisticated way would be to directly communicate with PolicyKit via D-Bus. This makes HPLIP integrate much better in Linux distributions and is also needed so that we can include the GUI parts of HPLIP in the default installation of Ubuntu (Ubuntu bug 802304).
