[cups] cupsaddsmb: No PPD file for printer "HP_LaserJet_Professional_P_1102w"

[Helge Blischke]

In a CUPS environment, this printer must be installed using HPLIP. The printer may be connected using
USB 2.0 or WiFi (don’t know the details for this, though).
If the printer is installed on a Win7 box, you need to share the printer on the Win7 side
and configure the printer on the Linux (or whatever system your CUPS is running on) side
using the HPLIP package and the smb (aka smbspool) backend to access the printer.
If you have difficulties with the smb backend, let me know – I have a backend script
that uses smbclient to access the printer and permits a printer specific authentication 
up to a limited extent.
