Description:
When I recently installed hplip 3.18.6-1 and its dependencies, I tried configuring a printer with hp-setup and that failed, as it couldn't read the .ppd file and running hp-check raised the warning: warning: could not read ppd file from /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-envy_4500_series.gz and I couldn't print anything (the printer would just stay forever in the "processing" state). Further investigation revealed that my user didn't have read permission on the /usr/share/ppd/HP directory but hp-print specifically doesn't like being run as superuser (for good reason). A simple `chmod -R a+r /usr/share/ppd/` fixed the issue but I think read permission for the ppd directory for users should ship with the package. Additional info: * package version: 3.18.6-1 * config and/or log files: N/A Steps to reproduce: Install hplip Attempt to configure a printer with the HP ppds - fail Check the read permissions on the .ppd file |

Rebuilding the pkg seem to have proper dir permission. Also if I
install current pkg from the repo I don't get a bad dir permission
either so it seems correct in that pkg too. Try to reinstall the
pkg.
