I have a HP LaserJet 1020.

To make this printer work you will need the foo2jzs driver (http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/).

You might have trouble installing the printer, in this case see the email below:

Subject: suggested fix for install-hotplug for ubuntu

Hi Rick



I'm using your foo2zjs driver under Ubuntu Breezy (x86) to print to a HP

LaserJet 1020. I had a problem when running "make install-hotplug": it

kept on aborting early with an error code. I checked the "hplj1000"

script and found that using "ed" to insert some lines into

/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap did not work for me. "ed" kept on returning

question marks, meaning that it did not understand the command. So I

modified "hplj1000" (see attachment) and the installation process is now

working flawlessly on my system.

I thought this might be a problem for other people as well and they

could benefit from this little tweak.



One more thing: when using gnome-cups-manager to select the printer

driver, I was asked to supply a PPD file. I found a PPD file with the

name of my printer in the PPD folder of the installation directory and

gnome-cups-manager accepted that file. I just thought it might be a good

idea to let the user know that they need to select such a file in the

PPD folder when using gnome-cups-manager.



Thanks for the driver.

Keep up the good work!



cheers
