It never worked easily for me, I always had to spend 45 minutes screwing around with the printer to get anything to come out. Conflicts with usblp module. Also, the installation process left some things to be desired (e.g. foo2zjs webpage explicitly states not to use distributions packages and to install it manually instead). Basically it was always a hassle for me. HPLIP is an official (and supported?) driver and seems to have all the features that the Windows printer drivers have, which foo2zjs didn't necessarily do (or do as easily). More importantly, it worked right the first time I tried it. :)

Looks like 1022 is there, too. That's worth looking at, AFAICT the 1020 and 1022 are basically the same. Do you have any particular objection to foo2zjs or is it just an OCD attitude to not having unnecessary packages installed? -- Neil Bothwick Ask a silly person, get a silly answer signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I have the LaserJer 1020, foo2zjs used to be the only way to print for me, too; by chance, I was looking at HPLIP the other day and saw 1020 was now in the supported printers list (it wasn't when I bought the printer). Looks like 1022 is there, too.

For some reason that page isn't in my Google results, I even searched again just now and it's still not there. Sometimes Google tries to be too smart. :) Now I can finally print normally, and removed foo2zjs completely from my computer. Wooohoo. :)

Thanks, but it looks like that's just the program itself (which is in Gentoo's distfiles mirrors) but not the plugin pack, unless I'm just not looking in the right place. Sent it off list. May need to check spam bucket if you don't see it. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

Does anyone here use HPLIP and happen to have the file hplip-3.11.7-plugin.run that they can send to me or upload somewhere? openprinting.org is down because of the LF hack and it could be more weeks before it's back up. There are apparently no mirrors of this file... I can't install my printer until I obtain this file. Thanks in advance. ;)
