Hello Goutam, Thanks for your help. I have installed the package you asked me to. I have intentionally deleted that to get at least my printer back. If during reboot I plug the printer in a different port it can locate it as a printer. I have run the hp setup and installed the plugin it asks me for and the printing and scanning worked perfectly The problem is that every time I reboot I need to plugin the printer in a different port and set up the printer and delete the previous printer entires. I have added the hp-setup -g when it detects the printer.
