Don't do that. The plugin PET contains some files that are also in the hplip_scan PET. So deleting the former may break the latter.MagicZaurus wrote:I have the plugin pet installed. I didn't try without it. But if it is useful for you, I can uninstall the pet tomorrow and try again.
I built it that way to support a group of HP printer-only units that need those files but don't need hplip_scan.
I need to re-think this situation. In a mainstream Linux like Ubuntu, this is academic because you would automatically install 100% of HPLIP and all its dependencies whether you need them or not.
But you can try this:
Go into the folder /usr/share/hplip and temporarily rename the folders "prnt" and "scan". See what still works.
Thanks for your help with this.
