Hello,

I wonder why your HP LaserJet 1200 has no USB port
because my HP LaserJet 1220 has one.
A HP LaserJet 1220 is a HP LaserJet 1200 printer
with the optional scanner unit mounted by default.

A HP LaserJet 1220 and accordingly a HP LaserJet 1200
is a true PostScript printer which works perfectly
without any special driver.

Additionally a HP LaserJet 1200/1220 works also perfectly
in PCL mode with HP's printer driver software HPLIP
which is included in Suse Linux / openSUSE.

If your HP LaserJet 1200 has an USB port, use it.
Then it's setup will work perfectly out-of-the box
(including autodetection) - just as it works and
worked all the time for my HP LaserJet 1220.



Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
