HOWTO install hp1020 for CUPS on Debian Lenny

Submitted by develCuy on Mon, 2007-08-20 00:32

Update: Don't use this method any more, please install hplip instead, and make sure to remove foo2zjs and hannah, because they conflict with hplip.

  1. Install CUPS
    # apt-get install cups
    # adduser youruser lpadmin
    # adduser youruser lp
  2. Follow instructions from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ to install the driver
  3. Add your printer
    • a. http://localhost:631/ (Web-based CUPS GUI)
    • b.
      # apt-get install foomatic-gui
      $ foomatic-gui &
    • c. Add your printer with foomatic-gui like here

Blessings!

As time pass, things went better. I've purchased a new laptop so I had to reinstall, this time painless.
1. Turn off you Printer (keep it power off)
2. Install cups driver and firmware downloader

sudo apt-get install foo2zjs hannah-foo2zjs

  1. Install firmware

sudo hannah-foo2zjs

Choose your printer model click Download and for confirmation message.
4. Turn on you printer
5. Set up your printer with cups

Tip: If install hplip, this will help cups to detect your printer but you have to choose the driver: foo2zjs.

Blessings!
