    [solved] Installing HP1020/HP1006 and hp-toolkit in kubuntu lucid

    I have a notebook (32-bit x86) and two laser printers, an HP1020 at one location and an HP P1006 at another.

    I just did a clean install of kubuntu lucid (keeping my /home partition) on my notebook. I had everything working under karmic.
    I downloaded the foo2zjs (and foo2xqx) drivers and installed them.

    It seems not to have installed correctly.

    /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware got sihpP1006.dl installed (should have been sihp1020.dl)
    and /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware was empty.

    Nothing worked.

    I manually copied sihpP1006.dl to /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware and that got my HP P1006 to work.

    I just replaced sihpP1006.dl with sihp1020.dl in /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware and, hopefully, that should work when I take my notebook back to the location where my HP1020 is.

    Aside from the install itself going sideways, the remaining problem is that hp-toolkit doesn't see any printers and won't let me install them in a way that works. I installed one called HP1006a so it wouldn't conflict with my HP1006 instance that I had installed through the CUPS web interface, but it won't work and hp-toolkit segfaults on exit.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Below are a few terminal snippets of how things look on my system.
    Notice how foo2zjs has a lot of files under it, but foo2xqx didn't have any to start with.

    TIA

    Joe

    How are these printers connected to your computer? Direct connection by USB or are they network printers?

      Any reason you're not using HP drivers?

      http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...rjet_1020.html for the 1020 and it looks like http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ is the recommended driver for the old 1006...

        Re: Installing HP1020/HP1006 and hp-toolkit in kubuntu lucid

        Both printers are direct usb 2.0 connections (at different physical locations).

        AFAIK, I am using the drivers recommended by linuxprinting.org. These have worked fine for several years.

        I'm using foo2xqx from the source you listed and it works, but with the weird install results detailed above.

        I have hplip 3.10.2 which looks like the right one for lucid. The site you mention installs 3.11.3a which probably won't install on lucid because of dependencies.

        Deleting the printer and reinstalling it (as HP1020 and then HP102a) with hp-setup (as a normal user) yields

        I'm thinking about uninstalling hplip and reinstalling it (same version).

        Any ideas?

          Re: Installing HP1020/HP1006 and hp-toolkit in kubuntu lucid

          I'm starting to think this is an ubuntu problem, not an hplip problem.
          I saw a post elsewhere from someone who had it working in lucid, but now it's broken in natty.

          The problem appears to be that ubuntu tries to talk to the printer, gets an error, and then deletes the the printer device while hplip is trying to download the correct driver and fails.
          Below, I have my printer connected to powered 4-port hub which I then plug into my notebook.

            It works!

            I followed:
            http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576589

            but also had to reinstall hplip and hplip-gui. See my post in the above url for more details.

            When I get back to my other location, I'll see if my HP1006 still works or needs to bee reinstalled
