Now I have solved the problem of HAL not calling the hal_lpadmin script. HAL requires all scripts to be in certain directories, even if they are called with an absolute path. See

http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#device-properties-info-callouts

I have fixed this now by moving hal_lpadmin to /usr/lib/hal/scripts/. Now both my HP LaserJet P2015 and my HP PhotoSmart A717 get set up automatically by simply plugging them in.

Packages for testing are here:
