This is no "Printing" issue but a lower-level
device communication issue because the printing system
(CUPS and printer drivers) just uses the existing
device communication stuff but the printing system
does not do any kind of setup of the lower level
device communication stuff.
Regarding "printer is recognized as 'DeviceURI
hp:/par/HP_LaserJet_1100?device=/dev/parport1'
but don't work":
Set "LogLevel debug" in cupsd.conf, stop cupsd,
remove /var/log/cups/error_log, start cupsd,
do one single test print and wait one minute,
cp /var/log/cups/error_log /tmp/cups.error_log
and attach /tmp/cups.error_log as MIME type text/plain
to this bug.
Furthermore search in /var/log/messages for error messages
related to hp/hplip/hpmud and parport/ppdev which might
help to find the root cause of the problem and attach
only those error messages as MIME type text/plain to this bug
which look related to this particular issue.
By the way:
My HP LaserJet 1220 which is directly connected via parport
to my workstation does also not work via a "hp:/par/..."
but it works well via the generic CUPS parallel:/dev/lp0 URI
because the latter does simple unidirectional communication
(i.e. that hp:/par/... does not work for you may have
nothing to do with your docking station).
Regarding parallel port <-> USB converters see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264219#c1
but you already did what is described there.
Regarding parport and docking station, have a look at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=357400
Perhaps the information therein could be also helpful
in your case but your case is duplicate complicated
because as far as I understand you have
Printer <-> parport at the docking station <-> USB at the laptop
I have no knowledge at all about docking station issues
and therefore I assign it to "Mobile Devices", perhaps
someone there has a better idea how to debug such issues.
