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.

What's new in this version:

New script and app for simply killing off the background process. If you don't use the MFP features, this is probably easiest. You can use hpcomm to restart the background process if/when you need them again. You should run hpcomm them BEFORE running the hp Director or subcomponents if you have run hpkill, otherwise you have to quite the hp software, then run hpcomm and then launch hp Director, etc.

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.
