Ron Melton, can you check whether you have a file .hplip.conf in your home directory ("ls -la ~/.hplip.conf")? If this file is owned by root, do
sudo rm ~/.hplip.conf to delete the file. Then start testing again from step 3 of my testing scheme. If this works for you, HPLIP 1.7.3 fixes this problem for you (known bug of HPLIP 1.7.1). -- Feisty UVF ER: New HPLIP 1.7.3 release fixes lots of bugs https://launchpad.net/bugs/98520 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
