Bug Description
When compiling hplip-3.9.8, using the ./configure switch --prefix=/usr/local and/or --syscnfdir=
If you want to place the cnf files in /usr/local/etc, you are obliged to modify the Makefile.
Similarly, you are obliged to tell the ./configure script where to put the cups backends and filters, even though cups is installed in /usr/local and the ./configure script finds cups, it does not use /usr/local/

Any comments on this?
I've found that even if "./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir= /usr/local/ etc" is used and I edit the Makefile to install the conf files to /usr/local/etc/hp, hplip is still looking for the conf files in /etc/hp and, for example, "hp-check -r" reports hplip.conf as missing.
