Update:

I just tested this on Hardy Gnome:

When starting hp-toolbox from a console this message is displayed:

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 2.8.2)

When starting as root it works also perfectly.

Please fix this bug, since it looks to me like this way no one can use hp-toolbox the way it is supposed to, being a regular user.
