Scanning is broken for psc 1310 Series in Feisty

Binary package hint: hplip

I have a PSC 1315v (which is identified as the PSC 1310 Series by HPLIP) and while the printing is working well, and previously the Scanning part was as well, it no longer does in Feisty.

After searching on the web, I found this same bug report, which seems to be a problem with HPLIP 1.7.1 http://<email address hidden>/msg02343.html

Basically I can change the /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat file so that there is a trailing _ on the section that specifies psc_1310_series. If I do that, then Gnome print will still print, and Xsane will detect my scanner and work. The issue lies in that if I do so, then none of the HP tools will work, because it then doesn't see that the printer / scanner is there.

This wouldn't be an issue, except that is where I check to see my ink levels.

Currently this looks like perhaps an issue between udev and hplip, as the device itself is detected and set up as psc_1310_series_ (or in udev it states it as "psc 1310 series " note the trailing space). I'm just posting this so that the Ubuntu team is aware of the bug as well as the HPLIP team. Doesn't look like there is a fix quite yet.

Thank you.
