Description of problem: Hplip icon system tray starts automatically even if it is not necessary Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 7 64Bits How reproducible: Install cups and reboot, install printer other than hp. The hplip icon system tray starts automatically consuming unnecessary resources, since I don't have an hp printer Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install cups and reboot 2. Install printer other than hp 3. Reboot
I think that hplip systray shouldn't start if there isn't installed printer hp in the system. Greetings.
Which desktop environment are you using, José? I see the same behaviour with Plasma5, but must say that it was quite a while ago that I installed my (non-HP) printer. I'll try whether renaming the /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop helps

But this is your bug report, Jose, so please tell (in this report) whether that helps for you, too, and which desktop environment you're using (KDE/Plasma5, Gnome, Xfce, Mate, Cinnamon.... we have so many of them)
I use desktop Plasma 5 with Mageia 7.1 x64. I found a fix for this problem in the web. The file /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop needs to be renamed "hplip-systray.desktop-DISABLE", and the service does not start automatically, but I think this should be done automatically by default, and return to its original name in case an hp printer is installed. Greetings.
There is no registered maintainer for hplip and, afaik, this issue only occurs in Plasma5. Maybe it can be fixed on Plasma5 side. Assigning to KDE team.

Any progress on this? Greetings!
This appears on all desktop with a systray and that user does not want hplip because he does not have an HP printer. This is due that clicking on Setup printer... in MCC triggers gurpmi2 to install task-printing-server AND task-printing-hp. This is hard-coded in MCC behaviour.
