HP P1005 printer on Linux Mint 9

[Qubix2010]

I am trying to install a HP P1005 LaserJet printer on the current Linux Mint 9 edition. I've tried the hp-setup command ,and it said my printer has been set-up correctly, but it does nothing. I then tried the other driver, foo2zjs, that I found here : http://www.stchman.com/foo2zjs.html , and still nothing. It says that the printer is ready...but does not print anything.


LE: Now I get the status : /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic -rip failed

hi

-yes there lots of other users with this issue .

-check for updates first .
open up the update manger
go in to the settings tick level 4 &5
refresh & install any updates

- now remove the foo2zjs and the HP driver .

- is your printer on the supported : http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ ????

thanks !

thanks !

Now that I think of it, the website foo2zjs.rkkda.com says that HP P1005 is not supported , but http://www.stchman.com/foo2zjs.html says it is....I have no idea if it really is. I know that I put P1005 as an identifier , and it seems to install something.

Ok, I've checked for updates, but nothing found. Any other ideas?

hi

-OK http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ will be right .

-so the printer supported with this driver @ http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ ???

[Qubix2010]

Ok, now I saw there are two different sites. Yes, It seems P1005 is supported by http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com , but it still does nothing


Also, when I run system-config-printer, it gives me this :


**** Incorrect IEEE 1284 Device ID: [u'lsb/usr/HP/hp-laserjet_p1005-hpijs.ppd.gz']
**** Actual ID is MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet P1005;

hi

-did you remove the other drivers ??? .

I followed the Uninstall instructions for foo2sjs and I uninstalled HP from the package manager (completely remove). So I think it really cleared them .

Holy Canoli. That was a PAIN IN THE BUTT.

Not your instructions - the hour+ I spent trying to get the foo2zjs thing to work.

Result: Ubuntu 10.04.2, hp LaserJet 1000 - SUCCESS! FINALLY!

You are a god amongst men! How in the world do you know all this stuff?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :D:D:D
