Hello Goutam,

   Thanks for your help. I have installed the package you asked me to. I have intentionally deleted that to get at least my printer back. If during reboot I plug the printer in a different port it can locate it as a printer. I have run the hp setup and installed the plugin it asks me for and the printing and scanning worked perfectly

 The problem is that every time I reboot I need to plugin the printer in a different port and set up the printer and delete the previous printer entires.

  I have added the hp-setup -g when it detects the printer.

looks like usb_modeswitch problem/bug, Is there any straightforward way to permanently disable the cdrom entry from the printer?

Thanks again for the help
