P1102W not detected through USB with hp-probe or hp-setup in Fedora 16

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

Hi there, knowing HP's reputation in making Linux-friendly printers I just bought a P1102W. It initially got detected by Fedora but did not actually print. I thus installed hplip and the proprietary plugin, but the printer does not actually get detected so I can't set it up. I really don't want to bring back the printer to the store, help (or even patches to try) is much appreciated.

Hi,

  Connect the printer and Run "hp-setup -g" and put the output here. It should setup the printer.

  Still if you find any issue, post the output of "hp-check".

Thanks.

Ok, so by editing /usr/share/hplip/base/device.py and adding a bunch of print statements all over the place, I found out that the "data" variable seems to be empty...

bn: 1
result_code: 0
data:

I'm guessing that this is the reason it fails, and that /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hpmudext.so is the culprit... but other than that, I don't really know.

I've given you the information you requested in previous comments. Anything else needed or anything I can try?

[Sanjay Kumar (sanjay-kumar14)]

Hi ,

Thanks for providing the information.Smart Installer is enabled in your device. If this is enabled, your device will be detected as CDRom from where you can install the software on windows. Unfortunately we don't support this feature in Linux However disabling it from Linux is under development. If you disable this feature on device, your device will be detected in Linux. So as a workaround to disable this you should have a windows machine and can follow the below steps.
1. Download the Full Driver for Windows from www.hp.com or http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4075452&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
2. Run the exe, extract it to a folder.
3. Go to extracted folder/UTIL directory
4. Connect your device.
5. Run SIUtility.exe and follow the wizard to disable the feature.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

[Jeff Fortin Tam (kiddo)]

Just wanted to confirm that indeed, using the Windows utility (to force the printer to disable its usb modesetting) makes the printer correctly detected in Linux afterwards. I guess the bug should be kept open because of the fact that this is not implemented in hplip yet...

[Jeff Fortin Tam (kiddo)]

Was a fix for this truly committed in hplip, or are you just closing the bug report because there's a workaround using WIndows?

[Sanjay Kumar (sanjay-kumar14)]

No, we are not going to close the bug unless it is fixed in Linux. We will move it to fix released state once we provide the solution from Linux.

[David Oxland (doxland)]

I recently tried to Download the Full Driver for Windows from www.hp.com or http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4075452&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us but the windows m7 machine installed my printer as soon as it was plugged in.
Coming back to Ubuntu with the printer seemed to provide no change except that The printer suddenly spit out a test page.
 It worked for two days and then reverted to cups backend failed.
 I don't know if the change came from having Hplip-isv ppa called for as that did not seem to ever succeed, It just came back with error unableto download, error 404
 so I'm stopped again; Don't know where to turn next.
Any help would be appreciated.
David

Hi David,

Please provide us the "hp-check -t" command output.

Thanks,
Goutam

I've got the same problem with P1102W.
hp-check included

[Matthew Roberts (majroberts)]

Has there been any progress in disabling this from Linux? I have the same problem as the OP, and I don't have easy access to a windows machine. I bought this printer because it was listed as having full support through hplip:

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_professional_p1102w.html

[Sarbeswar Meher (sarbeswar-meher)]

Smart install disabler support has been provided in the latest release hplip-3.13.2. Please download the latest hplip and install from hplip.net. When connected via USB, if smart install is enabled in the printer, it will show a popup to disable it.
