I tried setting up my HP Laserjet P1006 last night.  It pretty much 
failed.  It's loading the firmware and plugin correctly though.

Same type of errors when I was using Mandriva 2010.1 and 2010.2.

Permissions to the usb device denied and seg faults on hplip.

I ran hp-check -t and it pointed out that my profile didn't have the lp 
and lpadmin group, so I changed that, logged out and back in.

I was going to do further testing and file a report when I had a notice 
that there were more updates, so I applied them.  I was told I needed a 
reboot, so I did.

Now, I am no longer able to get a desktop, X fails to start.

I'll try a urpmi --auto-update --auto-select again to see if I can get a 
working desktop, if not, i'll try a reload and see if I can get some 
meaningful logs.

Doug
