The first command line, I had to use the one in parentheses:
]# /sbin/chkconfig --del hpoj
error reading information on service hpoj: No such file or directory
]# mv /etc/ptal /etc/ptal.orig

The second line, neither command seemed to work, but it looks to me that hpoj 
is stopped:
]# service hpoj stop
bash: service: command not found
]# /etc/init.d/hpoj stop
bash: /etc/init.d/hpoj: No such file or directory
]# locate hpoj |grep /etc
/etc/profile.d/hpoj.sh
/etc/profile.d/hpoj.csh
]# ps -ax |grep hpoj
20330 pts/2    S      0:00 grep hpoj
]#
]# /sbin/service hpoj stop
hpoj: unrecognized service
]#

But after "killall -HUP cupsd,"  lpinfo -v still doesn't show and hp printer.  
And neither does localhost:631.
]# /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
network socket
direct hp:/no_device_found
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
direct ptal
direct scsi
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
