i have a HP printer connected on USB, and hplip-minimal is installed.

the printer is detected in Gnome Settings, but installing it fails.

i see the following in the cups log afterwards:

[cups-driverd] Unable to open driver directory \"/gnu/store/rwrmqxklbdq85lwjgjl56r9zh54066ra-cups-server-bin/lib/cups/driver\": No such file or directory

installing the printer using the CUPS web interface works, and afterwards printing works, too.
