Hello maintainers,
I'm reporting this here as this looks like a package configuration
issue, combined with possible problems in HP support for Debian
stable[1] and finally the Ubuntu site wants me to create an account,
acknowledge long legal text which I would like to avoid for this small
issue.

A few days ago I installed an HP scanner and the necessary software
(including hplip-gui) to use it. It works (after needing to allow a
firmware download), but since then I get the following syslog entry:

hp-systray: hp-systray[3176]: error: option -s not recognized

If this warning is harmless, then please supply a logcheck rule which
filters it out.

Please note that I'm using a completely different printer, so the
messages below reggarding the printer are expected and CUPS works for
it.

Thanks!
