hplip Hp laserjet P1102 and No devices found on bus: usb

Asked by enricox

I am using Ubuntu 10.04.
My Printer is HP Laserjet P1102
My hplip is : 3.12.4
The user is in lp group

With lsusb I can see the printer:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 03f0:002a Hewlett-Packard

After run hplip and hp-plugins,when I type "hp-setup" the GUI HP setup interface appears, but it seems that there are no printers connected via USB even if my printer is powered on and USB connected.
With sudo hp-setup I received:

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.

Thanks & Regards,
Goutam Kodu
