You can't take the sky from me. - "Firefly" > - > Ubuntu User: #11105 > Ubuntu Linux http://ubuntulinux.org Finally got it working. After several attempts of purging and reinstalling different versions I kept getting the unable to connect errors. I did notice that hpssd would fail on shutting done when doing hplip restarts or shutting down the system. I started changing settings in my network to see if that was affecting it, but it wasn't.
Then I found someone having problems with hpssd on 1.7.2 & FC6. I followed his attempts of just executing hpssd.py which didn't seem to indicate any problems although I thought that if it were already running it should give some indication of that.Doing an strace of the command pointed me to several missing files in /usr/share/hplip/prnt. Mostly files that seem to be related to cups in some way. I know that I had installed cups as per the manual installation instructions. Also I had configured the printer in cups admin although it could never print. Through Smart Pkg Mgr I found one cups file missing, all others indicated as having been installed, "cups-lpd" was missing. I installed that, allowed the system to update hplip from 1.6.10 to 1.6.12 and succesfully ran hp-setup. Also my scanner is now detected and works. I'm now a happy camper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
