HP LaserJet P1102W support with Fedora 12

Asked by Michael Morgan

Support page for printer states that Fedora 13,14 & 15 are supported.
Gave Fedora 12 a try (video card is too old for a newer distro).
rpmfusion gave hplip 3.9; installed from sourceforge, 3.11.7.
resolved a number of dependencies to complete compile.

Problem: plug-in install failed.

hp-setup[2369]: debug: Checking for network connection...
Downloading configuration file from: http://hplip.sf.net/plugin.conf
error: Please install wget package to download the plugin.
Downloading plug-in from: file:// <-- possible issue here -->

USB and LPD setup are both having fits.

Ah, found it... wget was missing from my system!

Hi,

Need to install wget to download the plugin file. Please let us know if you are able to download the plugin after installing wget.

Thanks and Regards,

wget helped.
Still was missing a cups-plugin or something for laserjet P1102W via lan.
Figured that out with some googling; can't recall specifics. Lib's and a 3liner configure!
Printing great now!
