Hplip includes the /etc/init.d/hplip start-up script, hpijs does not include this script (and that's why it cannot be found on your system). Perhaps if you download, compile and install *hplip* you will have more success in achieving your goal? Before you do this you may want to run "sudo make uninstall" in the /home/ccyao/hpijs-2.1.4/ directory, to remove all the pieces of hpijs. I also strongly advise that you look into the "checkinstall" package, which is available in the ubuntu repositories and can be installed via apt-get or synaptic. Checkinstall allows you to use the dpkg management tool -- this will make it easier for you to track the software you have compiled and installed and will make it easier to cleanly remove this software if you decide you don't need it (or realize that it won't work, etc).

Ill do just that. Charles </blockquote></div> I cant seem to delete the hpijs folder even if it is empty. Could this be because of the ./configure --prefix=/usr command i did? If it is how can i undo it? This is the thing that comes out: "/home/ccyao/.T.../apollo21xx.Po" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder. I already emptied the folder but it still persists. Charles
