Comment 16 for bug 1220628

Hello Amarnath Chitumalla,

you are right that because of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1197416
I have currently invoking hp-config_usb_printer
deactivated in 56-hpmud.rules.

Because of the comment in 56-hpmud.rules
for the invoking hp-config_usb_printer rule
"This rule will add the printer and install plugin"
I already had the feeling that this could have
something to do with firmware upload.

I appreciate very much your suggestion how to
disable the groups and plugin popups
in config_usb_printer.py to avoid the issues in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1197416

Alternatively I am thinking about to replace
invoking hp-config_usb_printer by invoking
only hp-firmware in that udev rule like

hp-firmware -s $env{BUSNUM}:$env{DEVNUM}

but I do not know if this could have bad side effects
when that device does not need firmware upload.
