Hello Sanjay I don't have a windows machine so will just wait for the HPLIP fix hoping that it will be obvious when it happens. Not sure what to expect, printer failure or new machine found? Thanks f:or the note. David

A ubuntu enthusiast provided a temporary workaround. using Modeswitch to take away the fake identification as an installation CD As soon as the new updates arrived today for CUPS and the printer was tested I came back to the old problem and had to use the "Modeswitch" to make the printer usable again. This in itself isn't so much a problem as long as the OS is not shutdown or a new kernel update installed. I'm still hoping that something might come for a whole bunch of HP users who have these fake CD arrangaments installed. Thanks The command for "modeswitch" which allows my printer to function is usb_modeswitch -v 0x03f0 -p 0x032a -M 505554202F6465762F666561747572655374617475732E786D6C20485454502F312E310D0A434F4E54454E542D4C454E4754483A203232320D0A555345522D4147454E543A68702050726F78792F332E300D0A484F53543A6C6F63616C686F73743A333931300D0A0D0A3C3F786D6C2076657273696F6E3D22312E302220656E636F64696E673D225554462D38223F3E0D0A3C6665617475726553746174757320786D6C6E733A7873693D22687474703A2F2F7777772E77332E6F72672F323030312F584D4C536368656D612D696E7374616E636522207873693A6E6F4E616D657370616365536368656D614C6F636174696F6E3D22666561747572655374617475732E787364223E0D0A20203C736D617274496E7374616C6C3E64697361626C65643C2F736D617274496E7374616C6C3E0D0A3C2F666561747572655374617475733E0D0A0D0A -n -2 474554202F6465762F666561747572655374617475732E786D6C20485454502F312E310D0A434F4E54454E542D4C454E4754483A20300D0A555345522D4147454E543A68702050726F78792F332E300D0A484F53543A6C6F63616C686F73743A333931300D0A0D0A -n -R This is repeatable even after updates have broken it again. I will be pleased to send further logs if requested and the name of the author of the temp workaround.
