I'm thinking of buying a Laserjet 1100 myself, so I was
doing a bit of browsing in DejaNews yesterday. This is from
there (comp.os.linux.hardware back in March I think): hope
it gives you some hints.

I have a HP 1100A and its has been working perfectly
using the HP Laserjet 4/5/6 selection from the RedHat
printer control panel, which of course sets up the
ghostscript preamble.
Here is my /etc/printcap
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet4 600x600 a4 {} LaserJet4
Default 1
page1:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/page1:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/page1/filter:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet4 600x600 a4 {} LaserJet4
Default 1
page2:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/page2:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/page2/filter:

BTW, here's the original URL if you want to check back over
the thread.

If this helps to get your printer going properly, I'd be
grateful if you'd let me know; also, any comments (good or
bad) on the HP 1100 would be welcomed.
> And, by the way, can the scanner be used under Linux ?
Dunno. Sorry.
Cheers
