Bug Description
As described in [0], the at_console dbus feature has been deprecated upstream for a long time, and its semantics is highly non-intuitive. Ideally, upstream would like to drop support for this in the future, and hplip is one of the few remaining users.
As the security benefit of at_console is questionable at best, I suggest simply moving to using context="default" wherever at_console="true" is used. This means that any user gets access, rather than just any non-system user.
