I had successfully set up an HP Laserjet 1000 some time ago. You need
to download the firmware and 'cat' it to the device whenever you plug
the printer in (or switch it on). The printer will not function
otherwise. Instead of manually uploading the firmware each time - you
can set up hotplug to automatically do it for you.

To top it of, IIRC, the firmware has been removed from all official HP
download channels. Try searching for lj1000.exe (or a similar sounding
filename) on Google to see if someone else has put the firmware up for
download.
