Title: usb-modeswitch data for the HP LaserJet Professional P1102w Status in HPLIP: Confirmed Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Status in usb-modeswitch-data package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have, since January, been with out the use of a new printer HP Professional p1102w. /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed. A ubuntu enthusiast provided a temporary workaround. using Modeswitch to take away the fake identification as an installation CD As soon as the new updates arrived today for CUPS and the printer was tested I came back to the old problem and had to use the "Modeswitch" to make the printer usable again. This in itself isn't so much a problem as long as the OS is not shutdown or a new kernel update installed. I'm still hoping that something might come for a whole bunch of HP users who have these fake CD arrangaments installed. Thanks The command for "modeswitch" which allows my printer to function is usb_modeswitch -v 0x03f0 -p 0x032a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n -2 474554202F6465762F666561747572655374617475732E786D6C20485454502F312E310D0A434F4E54454E542D4C454E4754483A20300D0A555345522D4147454E543A68702050726F78792F332E300D0A484F53543A6C6F63616C686F73743A333931300D0A0D0A -n -R This is repeatable even after updates have broken it again. I will be pleased to send further logs if requested and the name of the author of the temp workaround.
