This is an old bug.  Solution to reporter's original problem was to
dpkg-reconfigure hplip.  However, vague error message still exists in
dapper:

/etc/init.d/hplip

(excerpt)

fixdirs() {
        dir=$(dpkg-statoverride --list /var/run/hplip) || {
                echo "You are missing a dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/hplip.  
Fix it, otherwise you risk silent breakage on upgrades." >&2 ##Not really 
helpful
                exit 1
        }
        [ -z "$dir" ] || createdir $dir
        # clear exit status
        :
}

Gutsy has a python script for hplip in /usr/share/hplip and I couldn't
find an equivalent message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/hplip$ grep -r override *
base/utils.py:def usage_formatter(override=0):
base/utils.py:    if override:
base/utils.py:        col1 = override
base/pml.py:OID_COPIER_REDUCTION = ('1.5.1.4', TYPE_SIGNED_INTEGER) # (100%=no 
scaling) (OID_COPIER_FIT_TO_PAGE overrides)
hpssd.py:         ("Port to listen on:", "-p<port> or --port=<port> (overrides 
value in /etc/hp/hplip.conf)", "option", False),
installer/distros.dat:# # Version data overrides distro data if present.
makecopies.py:         ("Fit to page (flatbed only):", "-f or --fittopage or 
--fit (overrides reduction/enlargement)", "option", False),


Edgy and Dapper users can modify their hplip scripts directly, add the line:

echo "Try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure hplip, then restart: sudo
/etc/init.d/hplip restart" >&2

Marking Confirmed to preserve comments.

** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu)
