This problem where the HP devices are not working in the hp-toolbox is related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/195782 Where the users need to be added to the "scanner" group for the device to work correctly with the hp-toolbox. This is because the scanner group adds additional permissions to the usb ports that does not come default. Till, Johannes, and the printing team are working on a solution regarding with how hal detects and assigns permissions to the HP devices. If you add the user to the scanner group hp-toolbox will then work correctly. This is a critical bug and there are 2-3 other threads going that have the same resolution. So either the scanner group needs to be added to the default user by default or the hal work around needs to be implemented before release... I haven't seen an update from the printing team on this in a while..anyone have an update? Till? You may notice that the bugs are reporting different problems but the solution is the same. So I'm reference back to the other bug because there has already been extensive conversation about this and the solution..
