For 7.10 and later users:
    $ sudo system-config-printer

For 5.10/6.06/6.10/7.04 users:
    $ sudo gnome-cups-manager
    [configure ColorMode = Color if a color printer]
    $ sudo make cups

    Ubuntu has a bug in gnome-cups-manager with Color, so you must
    restart cups.  No other distro has this bug.

If that doesn't work, then fire up:
$ firefox http://localhost:631

And click on:
    Printers -> Set Printer Options -> Color Mode -> Color
Then click on:
    Set Printer Options

The printers HP LaserJet Pro P1102, HP LaserJet Pro CP1025, and simliar
models have a virtual CD-ROM (a fake USB CD drive) in USB mode.  You can
disable this three ways:

Method 1:
NOTE: this is a non-open-source method!
- Connect the printer to a Windows PC and turn it on.
  The fake CD-ROM appears on Windows.
- Insert the original Driver CD that ships with the printer
- Run SIUtility.exe or SIUtility64.exe from the UTIL folder and
  COMPLETELY DISABLE THIS "HP SMART INSTALL" FEATURE. 

Method 2:
- Install usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data from your distro's
  repository. I.E.:
    # yum install usb_modeswitch usb_modeswitch-data
  OR
    $ sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch-data
  OR
    Surf to: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
- Power cycle the printer.

Method 3:
NOTE: this is a non-open-source method!
- Execute:
    $ wget http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/smartinstall/\
	SmartInstallDisable-Tool.run
    $ sh SmartInstallDisable-Tool.run

If you would like to use the 2-up/4-up capability, then you need to
get and install Angus Duggan's excellent psutils package.  You can
find the source code for psutils here:

http://knackered.knackered.org/angus/psutils/index.html

Or an RPM here:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=psutils

Append "PageSize=Custom.MMMxNNNin" to the lpr command.  E.G.

$ lpr -P hp2600 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps
$ lpr -P hp2600 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.10x15cm ~/testpage.ps
$ lpr -P hp1020 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps

Or, use a GUI that allows the custom size parameters, e.g.
"evince" - PostScript and PDF File Viewer.

This driver just prints Postscript and doesn't know what the
orientation is (*).  Other higher level programs format your
data into Postscript, e.g CUPS. 

The CUPS -o landscape option will rotate the page 90 degrees to print
in landscape orientation:

$ lp -o landscape filename
$ lpr -o landscape filename

(*) except for N-up printing, because psnup (from psutils) requires it!

$ sudo
# lpoptions -o media=A4
-OR-
# lpoptions -o media=Letter
