Uninstall HP Device Manager

Asked by Chauncey Montgomery

I am trying to uninstall the HP Device Manager so that I can do a clean reinstall. I've tried the directions listed on this page http://hplipopensource.com/node/188 and I get the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.

What can I do to uninstall the HP Device Manager?

You can run:

su -c "rm -rf /usr/share/hplip"

This will remove HPLIP as well. If you aren't using the same directory (hplip-2.8.10) that you installed from then make uninstall wont work.

Hope this helps.
