Hi Kris,

did you install the package hplip-gui, if you do, it will drag all the bits you need to get your printer working.

Install printdrak too as this is needed by the control center.

Just to point out that hplip-gui was updated yesterday to version 3.11.1-2 in the PCLOS repos!

See this post on the main PCLOS forum to update the sources list http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.ph ... 377.0.html
This will load synaptic with the latest repos list and then go through the normal procedure of choosing the nearest listed repository to yourself (only check one). Reload etc!!

Found this on FreeBSD forums, maybe worth trying :

The printer HP LaserJet P1102 has a virtual CD-ROM (a fake USB CD drive). I mean when you connect it to your PC, it shows up as a USB CD drive not an actual printer. The fake CD-ROM contains Windows drivers for the printer. Because of this, the printer will not actually be recognized AS A PRINTER but will be recognized as a USB CD-DRIVE. That's why /dev/ulpt0 will not show up, that's why HPLIP doesn't recognize it.

If you wish to use your HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD, you should take this workaround:
1-Connect the printer to a Windows PC (unfortunately you have to use Windows, that's too bad) and turn it on. The fake CD-ROM appears on Windows.
2-Insert the original Driver CD that ships with the printer (I mean the actual physical Driver CD-ROM not this fake one).
3-Run SIUtility.exe or SIUtility64.exe from the UTIL folder and COMPLETELY DISABLE THIS "HP SMART INSTALL" FEATURE.
4-Get back to FreeBSD. Printer is recognized and /dev/ulpt0 shows up.

Okay... it's reasonable for me. I will try this solution...
