Comment 4 for bug 1745834

Thank you for the reply Shivani. It is always good to have engagement with the team at HPLIP.

In the context of a machine using only sudo your advice does not make sense. I imagine you would not give it to a Ubuntu user - for rather obvious reasons. We have a Debian user who has set up access to services only through sudo when the OS was installed. There is no fundamental technical difference here between a Debian or Ubuntu installation

Besides, installing any programs that hp-doctor wants is determined by distros.dat. This file mandates that su is used on Debian. Altering auth_types is not sufficient.

There is some quite complex work to be done to accomodate Debian. I appreciate you are checking the situation and it would be good to know what your decision is. If you decide "No, we will not support this", that's fine by me. Just inform us. We would then know where we are up to.

Cheers,

Brian.
