How to swith LJ Professional P1102 to USB printer mode from USB mass storage mode?

Asked by David Jaša

I'm trying to use brand-new HP LaserJet Professional with Linux but it doesn't recognize it. The lsusb output suggests that it is in fake USB cdrom mode (that allows cdrom-free install on Windows):

I've updated the firmware using win xp utility from HP site and the printer's behavior changed - it still fakes CD-ROM initially, but after some time (around one minute), it "disconnects" and changes to a printer:

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ar71xx-ehci and address 8
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 8
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ar71xx-ehci and address 9
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 9 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x002A

But without a win machine, I'd be stuck. So how can update firmware with linux-only box?

I have the same problem. I don't have windows machine.

When I run hp-setup then show me that no devices found.
I run hp-setup with USB IDs and install printer. But when I want print something i get error.

Problem is that device is recognize as mass storage:

You probably want to install usb-modeswitch to make the device in question switch from its "CD function" to its intended function.

The way that I see it, this package is going to be more and more important as newer devices are released.

Hope this helps,
Rogério Brito.

P.S.: usb-modeswitch is just a collection of some scripts and even if it doesn't currently switch the device in question, it should not be hard to do the job.

Can you help with this problem?
