Comment 3 for bug 570545

Finally realized that this is also my problem.

Have Ubuntu 10.04 and downloaded hplip-3.10.5-plugin.run and hplip-3.10.5.run from:

http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/

Client has HP Professional P1102w attached to a Windows XP machine via USB. Other Windows machines print through network fine.

Installing through System->Administration->Printer locates the printer just fine and I can install the driver for it.

However.. printing to device gives error stating:

****
There are status messages associated with this queue.

Errors are listed below:
Printer 'HP-Laserjet-Professional-p1102w": printer requires a binary plugin, run hp-setup'.
****

hp-setup CANNOT locate the printer. Apparently a network printer attached via USB (not using wireless) cannot be utilized by the hplip driver as a SAMBA share as could a previous HP printer setup through the standard Ubuntu supplied printer utility.

So this printer can apparently be shared to other Windows machines but not to Linux machines at this time.

Additional problems. After running these utilities, synaptic reports that the only hplip on the system is version 3.10.2 and IT IS NOT INSTALLED..

Where is the HP installation utilities putting this stuff?
