HP has provided a tool now to easily download the firmware for all their printers which need a firmware file. So you need not to compile the foo2zjs driver package or create a print queue with HP's hp-setup any more.
If you have HPLIP 2.8.12 (on Jaunty) do: sudo hp-plugin and follow the instructions on the screen. This downloads and installs the firmware files for all HP printers which need such a file. After that it looks for existing print queues of such printers and uploads the firmware files into them immediately. So you will be able to print from all auto-generated queues for these printers immediately after the tool has finished. I plan to integrate the call of the tool into system-config-printer. An additional hint: On a default installation of Jaunty you will perhaps get presented a text mode interface in your terminal window. To get a graphical interface, run sudo apt-get install hplip-gui before running hp-plugin. Note that this installs some MB of additional packages. -- [Feisty, Gutsy] MASTER: HP LaserJet 1000/1005/1018/1020 don't work because of missing firmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backports Testing Team, which is subscribed to Gutsy Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
