Note: HPLIP 3.10.9 doesn't work for this printer. *** Installing HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD 8.1 *** Instructions on Installing HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD 8 (SOLVED)ДЄfter going through a hard time on installing HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD 8.1, I decided to write this. I have not been able to actually print anything on FreeBSD so far but I will keep on trying and post it here when I find a good solution!!! Printer is recognized and /dev/ulpt0 shows up. The fake CD-ROM appears on Windows.Дў-Insert the original Driver CD that ships with the printer (I mean the actual physical Driver CD-ROM not this fake one).ДЈ-Run SIUtility.exe or SIUtility64.exe from the UTIL folder and COMPLETELY DISABLE THIS 'HP SMART INSTALL' FEATURE.Д¤-Get back to FreeBSD. If you wish to use your HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD, you should take this workaround:ДЎ-Connect the printer to a Windows PC (unfortunately you have to use Windows, that's too bad) and turn it on. That's why /dev/ulpt0 will not show up, that's why HPLIP doesn't recognize it. Because of this, the printer will not actually be recognized AS A PRINTER but will be recognized as a USB CD-DRIVE.

The fake CD-ROM contains Windows drivers for the printer. I mean when you connect it to your PC, it shows up as a USB CD drive not an actual printer. The printer HP LaserJet P1102 has a virtual CD-ROM (a fake USB CD drive). I do not want other FreeBSD fans to suffer this pain. As the solution can be useful to many people I think I better post it here. Just a quarter ago I figured out the solution to one of my problems. Very Important Note on HP LaserJet P1102 (WORKAROUND)
