Re: [Hplip-help] HP 2360

[Aaron <ke...@gm...>]

Adam,

To remove hplip you could do:

sudo apt-get remove hplip

which should remove the ubuntu packages.  If you still have the hplip source
directory in the directory run: sudo make uninstall

or run sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip

HPLIP should then be removed.  To re-install use the automatic installer and
you shouldn't have any problems.

Although you may want to try removing the printer queues from
http://localhost:631 and re-adding them with hp-setup.  This will probably
fix the problem.

Hope this helps.

A
