Possible issues
Authored by: SOX on Feb 20, '04 12:48:34PM

I have an HP5510 a simmilar all-in-one, scan print fax copy.
It appears it runs daemons as well and the dock program. quiting the dock program does not stop the daemons. What I'm trying to figure out is if the dock program is not running it seems like the scan features of the printer dont work. restarting it seem to produce irreproducible results. And what the heck is that daeomon doing?

So the question is can I get rid of the program and daemon and somehow restart them when I occasionally need to scan something?


unrelated question. I recently refilled my HP 56 and HP (66)57 print cartriges. I followed the directions which gave a modestly complicated recipie for placing tape over certain pins on the cartrige, inserting this into the machine and printing test pages. this was supposed to fool the printer into re-reading the ink-level and reseting it back to full. So far Ihave had no luck persuading the printer its cartriges are full. it works fine it just warns me they are empty.

I got one from work as part of a "work from home" kit - so now the kids get the stupid icon when they want to play "reader rabbit" and, as a bonus, you still can't share the printer unless you're actually logged in.

In other words, with my old epson 740, all I had to do to print remotely was turn on the printer and the iMac it was hooked up to. With the HP, I have to turn on the printer, the iMac and then log in before I can print from my powerbook.

Note to self. Refilling cartridges from those "kits" is not the best idea. In fact, if you are using Epson, the warranty is completely voided if you do so. The ink quality is poorer, and it tends to dirty up the printer. Also, with most printers now, you get a new print head with the new cartridge, which is really important if you are at all worried about quality.
