HPLIP - what's that and why?


What's the HPLIP status service that seems to have appeared in the fxce panel without my installing it?
This is IBM StinkBad and there are no HP peripherals attached to it.
Root's desktop didn't have it.

To stop that service from starting up click on Applications menu--->Settings--->Session and Start up--->Application AutoStart---> then uncheck HP System Tray service.

Thanks.
Hitest, do you think I should change my nick? To "hecler" or "Questionflooder" or something? ;-)

I suspect that there are people thinking "oh, that moron again" when they see my nick as a thread starter. ;-)

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Feel free to explore all of the help menus available in XFCE, and read the general documentation provided in Slackware.
