HOWTO install hp1020 for CUPS on Debian Lenny

WARNING!

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!

Hanna-foo2zjs

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
3. 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!


turn off, install, turn on

After many failure your post suggested to turn off, install hannah-foo2zjs and turn on.

Worked!

Thanks
