Hi Stephen, Did you install any updates to cause it to appear again?
You will have to use Terminal.app sudo killall CIJScannerRegister sudo rm -rf /Library/Image\ Capture/Support/LegacyDeviceDiscoveryHelpers The first command simply kills the process which is causing the endless UDP broadcast packets. The second command deletes the application so it cannot start again on a machine restart. ================== If it troubles you again, you might need to use terminal to delete the executable inside the app bundle so the OS thinks it's still installed but it can't run. In Terminal: killall CIJScannerRegister cd /Library/Image\Capture/Support/LegacyDeviceDiscoveryHelpers/CIJScannerRegister.app/Contents/MacOS/ sudo rm CIJScannerRegister Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage > On 6 Jan 2015, at 7:45 pm, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: > > Hi Ronni, > I was surprised this afternoon to find CIJScannerRegister back and operating > again ! > Mmmmmmm ? > > >> On 4 Jan 2015, at 9:26 pm, Ronda Brown <ro...@mac.com >> <mailto:ro...@mac.com>> wrote: >> >> >> On 4 Jan 2015, at 8:16 pm, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com >> <mailto:chap...@bigpond.com>> wrote: >> >>> Thanks Ronni, >>> I have a Canon MX340 which I assume is an inkjet printer. >>> I don’t recall any updates for that but it happen within normal updates >>> from Apple ? >> >> Possibly...
