I tried the firmware download from the backported hplip in gutsy (2.7.12-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) . It fails with the following error in the terminal:
warning: I/O timeout error: Firmware file '/usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_1020.fw.gz' not found. I checked and I didn't have a /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/ dir, so I created it. Same results. At last, I followed the getweb instructions above (actually, the script posted) and it worked fine. I just had to turn the printer off and on again. This is a 1020 model. -- [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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
