Product Description:

The HP 33xx (specifically my 3330) software often loses the ability to connect to your printer/scanner, etc. I've found that killing off and restarting the background communication process sometimes solves this. Rebooting the printer can help too. Bundled are a python script to do this for you and an application that you can double click if you don't like to type at a command line.

HP Communication Reset ReviewTHANK YOU!!! - Version: 1.1.1, 4/26/2007 06:08AM PST

Just when I was about to throw my HP3330mfp through the window, I stumbled upon this utility. I've only tried it once, but it worked like a charm!

Thank you for releiving me of MANY restarts, or having buying a new printer.

:-)

HP Communication Reset CommentaryPython scripts work, but not app - Version: 1.1.1, 1/18/2007 01:32AM PST

pg99--2008
Running the python scripts work fine, but running the hpkill or hpcomm apps doesn't seem to do anything. I can get by with the python scripts, but the apps would be more convenient. Any suggestions, or ideas on how to debug this? I'm running 10.4.8.

BTW - thanks for doing this. I've got a G85, and have had these problems for years. I've been using the StopHP and StartHP scripts written by someone else for a while, and they work most of the time, but don't always succeed in killing the HP Communications process. Your scripts kill HP Comm more reliably.
