HP LaserJet P1102w detection

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I have an HP LaserJet P1102w printer that hp-check will not recognize. I figured out that this comes from a problem with HP making the absolutely absurd decision to enable "Smart" Install by default without providing a (reasonable) way to switch it off without Windows. I do not have access to a Windows machine at the moment and the Linux solution posted by dudinea is not working for me. For some reason, however, this Smart Install really seems to be biting Arch over other distributions (with some exceptions). For example, I'm dual booting Fedora and after some minimal configurat (HowTos)

I have a Laserjet 4L printer and can easily install it assigned to LPT #1.

However, it is not connected to LPT #1 but via a USB port, as follows:

Motherboard USB Port -> KVM Switch* -> USB to Parallel Cable -> Printer

I think the KVM Switch is irrelevant but I have noted it here for completeness.

I added a network printer to my network by the RedHat Enterprise workstation 6 linux GUI. It seemed that the printer setting did find the network printer. However, whenever I tried to print, the job didn't go through.

Ive installed my printer and everything seems fine including the test page but am unable to print anything else.The item in the print queue just stays on "processing" with the printer doing nothing

Ive installed HPLIP downloaded from the HP website which allows me to configure the printer and did it manually so as to enable parallel cable connection

Here is the output of hp-check -

Fedora 18 can print to, and scan from, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP, with some significant difficulties.

Lessons:

- Take note of the IP address it recites when it first adjusts to your network.

- To acquaint Fedora with it ... Install the hplip package, then run hp-setup.

I have attached a new printer, HP Laserjet Pro 400 to a Linux system running Fedora 14. The printer is not automatically recognized by the system.

So I downloaded hplip-3.12.10a in source form from the HP site. Went through the usual configure-make-make install process.
