Hi Steffen (and foo2zjs package developers)!

Sorry for the delay.

No problem. Relax :-)

It seems that it's wrong the command "if [ -n `which kdesu` ] ; then
`which kdesu` /usr/bin/hannah : else `which gksu` /usr/bin/hannah ;
fi"

Running it from bash it doesn't displays gksu (I don't have kdesu
installed). It just opens hanna directly.

Exchanging the order of gksu and kdesu like this

if [ -n `which kdesu` ] ; then `which gksu` /usr/bin/hannah : else
`which kdesu` /usr/bin/hannah ; fi

then it works. I don't know how correct it is (I am not a script guru,
sorry), but it works.

Now I (think that I) know why the error that I reported on #444852
happened. gksu wasn't called and it seems that I was trying
download/install the firmware as a normal user.

And yes, it works if we use this menu file:

?package(foo2zjs):needs="x11" \
        section="Applications/System/Administration" \
        title="Hannah firmware downloader" \
        longtitle="Foo2zjs firmware downloader and installer" \
        command="if [ -n `which kdesu` ]; then `which gksu`
/usr/bin/hannah : else `which kdesu` /usr/bin/hannah; fi"

(but again, I don't know how valid it is)

And just a doubt: is it necessary to use `which gksu` instead calling
it directly with /usr/bin/gksu? It doesn't seem that it will change
where it's located, right?

We have a lot of HP 1020 printers here. You can contact me if you need
help, testing or something else. It will be a pleasure to help.

Thank you very much!
