This may or may not be related to your issue, but I get an error message somewhat similar to yours when I stop hplip:

/etc/rc.d/hplip: line 28: kill: (5789) - No such process

In my case, it looks like the script tries to kill both hpiod and hpssd, but, despite the fact that both have .pid files (which contain their process id number) in /var/run, only hpiod is actually running. Thus, it throws an error when it tries to kill hpssd - the process whose id it got from /var/run/hpssd.pid doesn't exist. That's my understanding of it, anyway.

That said, though, I don't have a solution. My take on it was to just ignore the FAIL message, since nothing seemed to be wrong.

is your printer connected through usb or network? As it might have to do with shutting down the network interface.

Re your scanning, have you tried hp-toolbox to scan? You'll need the pyqt package to run it.

My printer is a network printer. HPLIP starts up after and shuts down before my network interfaces.

I don't need to do any scanning, but I tried hp-toolbox out of curiosity, and it's interesting to note that it won't run. Here's its output

that msg from hp-toolbox seems a bit strange considering you can print to the printer.

Process i use (network already started, i manually start hplip as i don't always need to print):

# /etc/rc.d/hplip start
:: Starting hplip: hpiod ...                                             [DONE] 
:: Starting hplip: hpssd ...                                            [DONE]

Then start cups

# /etc/rc.d/cups start
:: Starting CUPS Daemon                                              [DONE]

And when i run hp-toolbox it runs. Sorry i can't seem to help you here, it seems a bit weird considering you can still print to it. The only other thing i can suggest is maybe try the hplip-0.9.10-2 package from the testing repo.

--------------------------
Just incase you want to try for scanning you need

 pacman -S sane xsane

Then on the last line of /etc/sane.d/dll.conf uncomment hpaio
then do:

# scanimage -L

and it should show up your scanner.

I have two machines running Arch, one using the standard repositories (hplip 0.9.8-1), and one using testing (hplip 0.9.10-2), and they both have this problem.

Thanks for your help.

paul_au I tried your suggestion but it doesn't work for me. When I run hp-toolbox I still get

[ERROR]: Unable to connect to HPLIP I/O. Check and make sure HPLIP is running.
[ERROR]: Unable to create client object.
[
I can print fine.

I get this error every time I start one of the hp utilities (it's been doing it for two months or something, since I first tried hplip, was using the gimp-print drivers iirc before that), but printing works fine here too:
