Make HP Communications work with sleep in 10.3
Authored by: Christian Leue on Sep 24, '04 02:19:43AM

Better yet, get rid of the buggy, bloated HP software. I scrubbed my machine of everthing related to HP (search for Hewlett Packard, too), then went to www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/ to install Gimp-Print and hpijs

Prints like a champ, and you can use VueScan if you have one of the supported All-in-One devices (VueScan runs great with my PSC 1210).

Good riddance, HP Communications!

Make HP Communications work with sleep in 10.3

This works for printing but not for all-in-one devices which can scan or fax. What I do is print via the Mac OS X driver and when I need the scanning functionality I manually start HP Communications, do the scan and quit it again. I patched HP Communications to be a foreground app so it shows up in the dock and can easily be quited. Still not very good but circumvents the problems generated by this bloody HP Communications app.

How did you patch the HP Communications application to be a foreground process?

Are you willing to share it with us? :-)

Thanks!
