Re: [ilugd] Unable to setup HP 1005 printer on Ubuntu
And that reminds me - check the status of the printer using CUPS. Sometimes these HP printers 'stop' on their own... I had a nasty time with them.

Re: [ilugd] Unable to setup HP 1005 printer on Ubuntu
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.

I do not remember the URL for this information but linuxprinting.org site gave me the work around and as long as the printer remains powered on it will keep working with whatever driver you load. You have to initialise the printer by giving a cat command and a download srcipt. I can look up thursday if you do not find any solution. Today being holiday at office. Alternatively google for this pon mailing list, I remember (vaguely) posting this solution a year or more back. Hi, Actually posting the solution would really help We have searched the net and got the following links ad even followed them up. But we are probably missing something somewhere - and the we are all non techies - so there is a good chance of missing something obvious. Yesterday we tried the following (with regards to the HP 1005). followed the links at http://wiki.clug.org.za/clugwiki/index.php/Adding_an_HP_LaserJet_1000_to_Linux http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1005 I think I repeated what Vivek did earlier - to try and get some response - even a damn blinking LED from the printer but zilch first I did this $ wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz $ cd foo2zjs Then I followed the following instructions Now compile and install it. The INSTALL file contains more detailed instructions; please read it now. Compile: $ make (Optional) Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles for color correction, and firmware: $ ./getweb 1005# Get HP LJ1005 firmware file Then I did this: Install driver, foomatic XML files, and extra files: $ su # make install After this I tried gnome-cups-manager the print manager and tried to install and stuff but it continues to show both pbmtozjs and foo2zjs- but nothing seems to happen. I even tried the following sudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf 1.Find the the LogLevel option: LogLevel info and change the line to: LogLevel none – changed to this on Oct 11th 2005 Save, exit, and type in the command $ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart still nothing *Are you suggesting that I do this* cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl /dev/usb/lp0 in cups script: /etc/init.d/cupsys I can open the said cupsys file and edit it ad add the line , the question is where - the file (when opened in gedit ) has a lot of colors and operators or whateever they are called. That am willing to try Secondly, would't I need to do this once the printer is working ?? which at the moment it is not. regards ram -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Unable to setup HP 1005 printer on Ubuntu
*Are you suggesting that I do this* cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl /dev/usb/lp0 Simply issue the command given above once you plug-in the printer, and hotplug detects/initializes that a USB printer has been plugged-in. After you uploaded the firmware the printer should make some whirring noises and some LEDs should blink. If that is happening you are on the right track - you simply need to get the software/application level drivers working.

You need to cat . every time printer is powered on. After that it is matter of getting the right print driver. Start all over again and first install printer under cups. Do not print test page but run that cat commnd at this the printer should make some whirring noise and led's blink. Then print the test page with different drivers till you getthe right driver. Off hand I think it is the hpijs driver. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

hi, this is a good place to start. http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing.html#linuxprintingcomponents I know it talks about shared windows printers but the concept is same. You need to use cups along with the proper .ppd file for your printer model. --- gaurav [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, We have a HP 1005 Laserjet printer - which supposedly speaks only PCL 5 (). check this hp linux printing website - http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/ fairly well documented and stable drivers I used this site setup my pcs 1325 scanner/printer (for some reason scanner always crahed on windows ).

Hi, We have an old HP Ljet2100 that speaks PCL5 and it works perfectly with Foomatic/ljet4 driver installed in linux machine that has cupsd running in it. The exact setup is that the printer is connected to a Win98 machine that has been shared , and we have added it as a network printer (SMB) in the cups server. Not sure though if it works perfect because of the proper cups driver selection or becuase of native windrivers. But changing the cups driver do have an effect in the working of the printer. You may try the ljet4 driver as i vaugely remember that it used to work in linux. Regds Rajesh Kumar Mallah. The driver being used is pbmtozjs. It is setup as a local printer , using a USB connection. Though both a parallel port and a USB were tried. Vivek Iyyer tried updating the firm ware to something recent , but even after that the printer does not work. What he exactly tried I don't know. Further , thinking that there may be a problem with the printer, we tried installing it on a Wincedows ninetee8 machine, and It worked well. Our Distribution is Ubuntu Hoary.
