I tried to install hp laserjet p1006 on Mandriva 2008 using hplip-2.7.7-8.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm.
Install prossesed successfully, but when added printer from Mandriva Contro Center the type of printer did not appear, why?

The HP WEB site redirects you to sourceforge at the following Link. It appears that your printer is supported under hplip but requires a downloadable proprietary plugin. See the WEB page for the information they provide.

You should also see the this page if you need to install the latest hplip.
