Public bug reported:
I have, since January, been with out the use of a new printer HP Professional
p1102w.
/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed.
A ubuntu enthusiast provided a temporary workaround. using Modeswitch to take
away the fake identification as an installation CD
As soon as the new updates arrived today for CUPS and the printer was tested I
came back to the old problem and had to use the "Modeswitch" to make the
printer usable again.
This in itself isn't so much a problem as long as the OS is not shutdown or a
new kernel update installed.
I'm still hoping that something might come for a whole bunch of HP users who
have these fake CD arrangaments installed.
Thanks
The command for "modeswitch" which allows my printer to function is
usb_modeswitch -v 0x03f0 -p 0x032a -M

This is repeatable even after updates have broken it again.
I will be pleased to send further logs if requested and the name of the author
of the temp workaround.
Thanks
