I had the same behaviour in Hardy final, as I had in Gutsy (as in my previous comment): running hp-toolbox in terminal produces "error: Firmware file '/usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_1020.fw.gz' not found." when I tried to download firmware from the GUI.
I can confirm that using the HPLIP gui to remove and recreate the printer configuration gave me the interactive procedure provided by hp- setup, which automatically downloaded the firmware and worked fine. Apparently CUPS creating the printer spool directly (when USB printer is first connected) ignores the need for special drivers. Could hp-setup be used automatically instead for HP printers for a "Just Works" experience? -- [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
