Comment 14 for bug 195782

I just tested this on current hardy, and I confirm that Ubuntu does not create the scanner group any more, since we do not need it for libsane. If hplip still needs it, it should be created there, but I think the better solution would be to change hal to make those devices accessible to the current foreground user, similar to what we do with scanners, cameras, removable drives, etc. now.
