Heh. I already have hplip installed. But when I plugged in the
P1006 for the first time, CUPS then proceeded and installed the
foo2xqx and foo2zjs RPMS for me, together with their dependencies
from rpmfusion. It found these RPMS in rpmfusion. I actually
thought that this was pretty impressive, how it autoinstalled the
right RPMs it wanted.
http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ claims that the foo2zjs/foo2xqx driver,
that I got pulled in from rpmfusion, is broken. That's probably my
answer.
Actually, foo2zjs and foo2xqx drivers compiled from source are just
as broken
without the printer firmware. I remember a long ago I had to set it
up manually.
The Windows driver CD for my HP LaserJet 1020 had the firmware plain
in sight,
the README for foo2zjs explained where to put it and how to add
autoloading
to udev configuration. That was around Fedora 9. Since then I used
hp-setup
to use the "proper" driver but foo2zjs works just as well. Though at
that time
foo2zjs worked better, as hplip didn't support LJ 1020...
Just for giggles, I ran hp-setup. It told me that I needed some
firmware, then proceeded and downloaded it, without disclosing any
more details, and that made the printer wake up, and make itself
useful. Splendid.
Now, if hp-setup could only tell me what it downloaded, and where
it dumped whatever it loaded on the filesystem…
