Re: Difficulty with PSC 1210

Somehow one needs to get rid of this HPOJ virus.

So the best perhaps is to proceed as follows:

- Uninstall HPOJ completely
- Reboot
- While rebooting, turn off and turn on your printer when the computer 
is in its BIOS self-checks.

Run "lpinfo -v" again when the computer has rebooted. Does it still show 
"direct hp:/no_device_found"? If so, check whether

- the device appears in /proc/bus/usb/devices (should be).

- "printer" or "usblp" kernel module is loaded.

- the daemons of HPLIP are running (processes hpiod and hpssd).
