Hey, Aaron, thanks much for your quick reply.
This is the output of ps ax |grep hp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ps ax |grep hp Password: 1880 ? S 0:00 [khpsbpkt] 3049 ? S 0:00 [shpchpd_event] 4634 ? Ss 0:00 ./hpiod 4642 ? S 0:00 python ./hpssd.py 5738 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep hp For me, this seems not to indicate something wrong or am I mistaken? Now, following your alternative advice, I did: sudo make uninstall sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip make clean configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install (which worked ok, this time) hp-setup <ip-address of printer> and voila, anything works again!!! GREAT! But the miracle remains ;-)): I actually DID restart hplip and cupssys and I also tried to stop/start the printer via http://localhost:631 (is this, what you are referring to in regard to stopping/starting the printer?). The only thing that I really missed was doing the "rm -rf /usr/share/hplip". Anyway I am happy that it is working great now, once again. Nevertheless if you happen to be able to shed some light on this strange experience, you are always wellcome to do so. Thanks very much for your great help and again, thanks for developping and excellently supporting a great product that makes it easy to recommend hp printer equipment to linux users. regards Eberhard On Wed, 06 Sep 2006 10:15:03 -0700 Aaron J Albright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Eberhard, > > In the future before doing a reinstall you may want to try > restarting hplip/cups and the printer. usually that will > correct this sort of problem. otherwise it sounds like there > may be 2 conflicting installs of hplip. can you run ps ax | > grep hp and post the output? other wise you can also try > doing a clean install, make uninstall, then rm > -rf /usr/share/hplip, etc. > > hope this helps. > > A > > Eberhard Roloff wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am using the latest hplip package on ubuntu 6.06.1 with a > > laserjet 3392, connected via Ethernet. > > > > Anything (print/fax/scan) worked like a charm, until this > > morning. ;-)) > > > > When I wanted to print, nothing happened.
