Yep that one would work too.. It's a work around, the real problem should be fixed in the code. But all paths except the once not fixing it are good paths ;)..

Subject: [Bug 281880] Re: Kubuntu: HPLIP unable to find su/sudo utility

i am using kubuntu jaunty and this is what i did to fix it:

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s kdesudo kdesu

then the hp systray icon worked just fine. maybe adding an alias would
be more efficient, but this already worked for me.
