Some extra remarks:

- when I want to operate the HPLIP Toolbox now, it gives the error:
device not found. The toolbox is still partly functional, though: I can
influence the print quality settings.

- The only way to start HPLIP Toolbox now without errors, is to start it in the 
terminal, as root: gksudo hp-toolbox
I suppose that it is the same problem as with my separate Epson scanner, which 
will only start with sudo xsane. Intelligent hardware connected through USB, 
needs root permission to function. Some security setting buried deep in Linux, 
I fear.

- it wasn't necessary to start the Toolbox as root, to start the
sequence I described in my earlier post.

- I have a Laserjet 1018.
