The issue was one in which the plugin from HP would not install because it was seen to have an invalid checksum. The printer model is of no relevance because hp-plugin has no idea for which printer it is being installed. The thread referenced by Ralph Katz has no mention of corrupt plugins so would be of no help in solving the issue, irrespective of the p1109w getting a mention. However it does hint at using printer-driver-foo2zjs as an alternative to printer-driver-hpcups. Had it been impossible to install the plugin from openprinting (we saw it wasn't) this would have been an option to take. Not ideal in terms of the stated problem but much more elegant and less hassle than buying a different printer. -- Brian.
