I had to use --nodeps, because it wanted to take out various other things. Presumably I left in something important. Similarly, when going back to the mandriva rpm I haven't properly cleaned out the sourceforge one. > To test for this, I would simply delete the mandriva rpm and then rerun > hp-check. > That still carried references to 2.7.9, which seems to confirm it. > If it still works, you are then using your "one and only" hplip. ;-) > > If this does not work properly then, I would delete "anything hplip" > from your computer and reinstall the latest package from the webpage, > just to > a. > begin from scratch and > b. > start wich a clean system > OK - I've made a fair stab at it. Now, /var/run/hplip seems to have gone but /var/run/hpiod.pid /var/run/hpiod.port are left. Are these part of the package? All the /usr/share/hplip/ stuff has gone. Can you give me a hint as to where else I should look before trying a clean install? Would you recommend the sourceforge package rather than the mandriva one? Anne
