No need to patch anymore, I think the problem was fixed properly in
official ubuntu hardy heron release.

You just need to add your username in the scanner group do this in
terminal: gksu gedit /etc/groups
Then find the line similar to this: scanner:x:104:hplip
Change to this: scanner:x:104:hplip,youruser

..where you add a comma and "youruser" to be your username. Save and
close, log out and log in again, it should be fixed
