Comment 20 for bug 813482

I did not see the bug reporter or any other HP owner contributing his/her configuration.

The consequence is that we are stuck with the existing files for HP devices' mode-switching. I can maintain usb_modeswitch upstream, but I can't buy all that hardware for testing. So much for ranting.

To solve your problem at hand: adapting existing configurations MAY work. Please provide the USB ID of the printer after plugging it in and being able to access the pseudo "installer disk". You know the "lsusb" command, right?
