OK, thanks for testing. It looks like this is the same as the bug in Ubuntu
I pointed to earlier today. I'll reassign it to hal-cups-utils.

Yes, it should be fixed now in newer versions of this package.
Josselin/Debian GNOME people, would it be possible to backport the specific
patch from upstream git for Lenny? This does make printing to an HP printer
essentially unusable due to hal-cups-utils disabling the printer, and
requiring admin privs to re-enable it. Previous mails in this bug contain
references to Ubuntu bugs where upstream mentions the fix.
Thanks,
Roger
