O.K., I assume you have the "usb-modeswitch" and "usb-modeswitch-data" package installed.
Now you have to do two things: 1. Edit "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules" and add a line for your device. There is one in there already for a printer with ID 03f0:002a; you can just copy it and change the product ID to "042a". 2. Add a file named "03f0:042a" to the folder "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d"; this is the content: ------------------------------ # Bright New HP LaserJet TargetClass=0x07 MessageContent="555342431234567800000000000006d0000000000000000000000000000000" NeedResponse=1 ------------------------------ See if there are any changes after re-plugging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813482 Title: HP Printers with "Smart Installer" are recognized as CD-ROM drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/813482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
