I am trying to setup F13 machine to print to a Windows 7 machine using
samba.

I use system-cups-printer and setup the HP Laserjet 1020 printer using
the samba command:
smb://<username>:<passwd>@WORKGROUP/<machinename>/<printername>

F13 has hp 1020 as a device choice. The printed file appears in the
Windows 7 printer queue but no printing occurs. Instead I get the
following error:
Printer 'HPLaserJ' : printer requires a binary plugin. run 'hp-setup'

I am mystified what to do. There is no man page for hp-setup and I can't
find any options to use to deal with this error.

Can anyone make a suggestion?

When hpcups encounters that error it is supposed to set a special 'state
reason' on the queue, something like "hplip.plugin", and
system-config-printer-applet translates that into a readable string from
the PPD.

But it sounds like you didn't get that message show on your screen.
Maybe you aren't running system-config-printer-applet in your session?
(It does run by default...)

Anyway, there is an hp-plugin command that just downloads that
proprietary plugin.
