[CentOS] Setting up a printer without having one

Hi folks! :-)

I am supposed to configure this fresh install of CentOS 5.5 to work nicely with the HP 1010 printer, once it gets connected to the computer (probably via usb, but I cannot be sure). The problem is that I will not be anywhere near the machine when the printer actually gets plugged in, and hp-setup refuses to do anything until that happens.

So how does one configure a to-be-used-in-the-future printer, without actually having one plugged in? People who are going to use the machine are noobs, and unlikely to be able to set up the printer themselves, so it would be a good idea if I could do it in advance.

I haven't done anything like this before, and would be grateful for any pointers.

TIA! :-) Marko
