Don Welch has already provided a small patch to address these issues with the HP LJ 1100 (attached). He has no LJ1100 and me not, too. So it is not guaranteed that this patch helps.
Johan Kiviniemi, try to apply it to /usr/share/hplip/base/device.py If nothing changes try to delete /usr/share/hplip/base/device.pyc and try again. Does this help? If not I will repackage HPLIP so that a corrected .pyc file gets generated. ** Attachment added: "Attempt to fix LJ1100 on parallel port problem" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7050943/device-py-1_7_1-to-1_7_3.patch -- Feisty UVF ER: New HPLIP 1.7.3 release fixes lots of bugs https://launchpad.net/bugs/98520 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
