Er... Yes.
Let me try again:
* It doesn't power up on other operating systems, only in 42.2
--> it is not the printer detecting power in the USB cable.
* It doesn't power up before installing the driver It didn't power up automatically before originally installing the driver last evening. Now it powers up whether there is a printer configured in yast or not. I think that equates to having a driver installed or not. So because of that assumption, I think that the driver/setup installation left an easter egg in a configuration file

I tried changing drivers to two other drivers (three in all) last night, and none of them changed the automatic powerup problem back to normal operation.

Some HP printers can be installed without hplip. Mine can.
I don't know if mine can or not, I remember the installation pulling hplip in as a dependency to install the printer.
Your printer, can be connected via network instead of USB cable? Mine works better via network than USB. I don't know the answer to that for sure, but I think it can't. On the back of the printer there is only a usb port and I think also what is called a parallel port cable port. My limited understanding is that network connections are done with an ethernet port, and there is no ethernet port on the printer. You can correct me on that if I am wrong.
