Product: Photosmart C Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 bit. Tags 2. Tags: Microsoft Windows 7 bit. I have the same question.
I've eliminated all but one, HPZipm Its only function from what I've read is to communicate ink levels, etc. I don't really want that one going either. In fact, when I return from hibernation, it's no longer running anyway, and I can't check on the ink levels. When I try to disable it through msconfig, it tells me I need to be an administrator to disable it.
Problem: I am the administrator. I have no trouble changing anything else in Services. I downloaded the latest drivers from HP 30MB! The printer works fine. Anybody else have any luck disabling this process or any idea how I can? Joined May 7, Messages 1, Great definitions of what each is all about and whether it is safe to disable. I do know if HPZipm12 is not running, the HP Director may not recognize your printer, therefore you will not be able to scan by way or your computer.
I get the same error message you get when trying to switch the PML Driver to manual from automatic in Services. This only started when I downloaded and installed the PML security update just a few days ago.
Has something to do with that update. I had to uninstall IE7 to get the Director to work again. If I find an answer, I'll let you know. Thanks for all the info. It prints fine without HPZip12m running, I just can't look at ink levels or clean the print heads. I hate unnecessary background processes reduced my new computer's from 44 to 22! I'll skip installing HP's updated drivers unless I can no longer print.
There is a "Log On" tab in Services that I haven't had the guts to play with. It says you can enable or disable the process for a given hardware profile. Not sure if that would do anything.
Thanks for your help. Maybe someday this thread will be listed as "Solved"! Joined Nov 28, Messages 1. I've recently bought a Photosmart and agree that all that software is incredibly messy and bloated. I really hope that HP will release an updated and stripped down version of the drivers, still supporting all the printer features you can download the "enterprise" version of the drivers which is cleaner but doesn't support scan and fax.
Anyway, back to the topic here, I get the same errors you mentioned when I try to disable the horrible PML service service for what? I get the same errors you mentioned when I try to disable the horrible PML service service for what?
Thanks, libit and kniht. I never thought of checking the registry for Services. I set it to manual with no problems on startup. I then checked my ink levels and cleaned the print heads with no trouble whatsoever. I guess those functions are independent of the PML service. Of course, they still don't work on return from hibernation, but that's not a big deal.
My cheapo printer doesn't have a scan function, so the PML service will never come into play. Strange, since I've never used the administrator account. I just changed it over to my name, and I can probably change the PML service over to disabled through Services now. I'll check on next restart.
