Re: HP Laserjet not printing.



Hi,
Well the whole problem was HP "Smart" install which comes with this printer because of this Laserjet registers itself as storage deivce under Debian.

Only way to fix this is to disable this HP Smart install feature from Windows: Go to UTIL folder in the CD that came with printer and run SIUtility. Once you do this, you can configure printer with CUPS or hp-setup without any problems.
For reference see:

(Thanks to Josselin Mouette for helping me with this).

Also, to be fully sure that everything works, install hplip version > 3.5.4, printer didn't work with stock lenny hplip version (version 2.8.x as I recall).
Hope that helps

Yes please.  I have bought the same printer this weekend and did  not
even take it out of the box.  Will probably try to use it by the end of
this week.  Your answer can save me time.
Maybe you can share the steps you followed so anyone facing the same problem
can also solve it :-)
