hplip works for me. You realize you posted your results after you tried to stop hplip? (but I see what you mean though, if it was running in the first place /var/run/hpssd.pid would have been created) Anyway, dou you mind posting the output you get when you run /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py manually? > You realize you posted your results after you tried to stop hplip?

Exactly, there was no point in posting the output of start, because there's none.
I wanted to show, that the process is not being started.

Indeed, it should show something like 10382 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py Can you run it with -ldebug? I was hoping to see some useful error message: /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py -ldebug Have you tested 0.9.8-r2/contacted upstream about this? I can't really tell why the daemon does not start for you (in case -ldebug doesn't help). this is all I get in my syslog: Mar 7 19:24:45 stilgar python: hpssd [DEBUG] Exception: 95 (Unable to bind to socket) Mar 7 19:24:45 stilgar python: hpssd [ERROR] Server exited with error: Unable to bind to socket And not really very informative. It says quite the same thing than probe does. No, I've not yet tried 0.9.8, nor have I contacted upstream, although I've been crawling through the official forums, with no luck at all. Same thing happens with 0.9.8 I found what was causing the problem. Running hpssd.py with the -ldebug switch returned the following: May 12 20:30:58 stilgar python: hpssd [ERROR] Server exited with error: Unable to bind to socket May 12 20:31:24 stilgar python: hpssd [ERROR] Server exited with error: Unable to bind to socket May 12 20:31:50 stilgar python: hpssd [DEBUG] Exception: 95 (Unable to bind to socket) May 12 20:31:50 stilgar python: hpssd [ERROR] Server exited with error: Unable to bind to socket after a little googling, I found out, that this might be caused by a missing 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in /etc/hosts and indeed, I had changed it to match my ssh tunnel |
