[Hplip-help] Removing HPOJ

[MICHAEL FREDERICK]

Attempting to install HPLIP on SUSE 10.0. Get a message that HPOJ is installed or running. Install gives instructions to remove HPOJ via command su -c "yast --remove hpoj". When command is executed I get message "--remove is not a valid command".

So how do I get rid of HPOJ?

HPOJ is in our RPM package hp-officeJet.

To disable it manually and remove it manually do as root:

/etc/init.d/ptal stop

insserv -r ptal

rpm -e hp-officeJet

or if the latter results dependecy conflicts (keep a note
which packages require hp-officeJet) do:

rpm -e --nodeps hp-officeJet
