Johan Kiviniemi, thank you for your report. Johan Kiviniemi is using the HP LaserJet 1100, a print-only device, on the parallel port.
For point 2: It is normal that you do not see the menu entries as they are disabled by default. Activate them with the menu editor (I hope Xubuntu has a menu editor). I did not test to run the "STARTED_FROM_MENU=yes hp-fab" from the command line. I tested only via the menu and there everything was OK. Please try to activate the menu entries and try to use them. We can add the "< /dev/null" to the command line in the hp-fab.desktop if needed. For point 3: Don, Raghu, can you look at this and send a patch for HPLIP 1.7.3 (and also for 1.7.1 if this is a bug in 1.7.1, too). For point 6: Don, Raghu, can you look at this (first tab empty and error messages on console, Traceback on Status tab, supplies readout for LJ1100) and send a patch for HPLIP 1.7.3 (and also for 1.7.1 if this is a bug in 1.7.1, too). It is possible that the LaserJet 1100 does not support supply level readout. Let's see what Don and Raghu say. For point 7: It is OK that the toolbox shows more options, as it also shows the cUPS-specific options where most printer setup tools show only the printer-specific options. For point 8: On your printer a scanner add-on can be installed. Therefore you have the button for scanning in the Toolbox. For point 11 and 12: Don, Raghu, is this warning in the syslog a real problem? Why is it there? For point 16: Johan Kiviniemi what is your opinion about HPLIP in Feisty: 1.7.1 or 1.7.3? I did not have any problems with the Toolbox, but I have only network and USB printers. Perhaps there is a problem with parallel port access for non-printing functions. Raghu?
