Hello
I have xenial64 7.5 uefi frugal on a dell vostro1320. I did have my HP laserjet 1020 working in tahr605 with foo2xxx_rcrsn.pet on it but not with xenial64. I have cups 2.1.3 on it and have tried http:/localhost:631 but still cant get it to print.
Has anyone any ideas please.
Thanks

Try to install by PPM foomatic-db, foomatic-db-nonfree, foomatic-db-engine and foomatic-filters in the order. Then open the browser al localhost:631 and add the printer. Choose the driver most close to your printer. See if the driver is reported as "recommended".

There is a 64 bit version of fooxxx here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 175#990175
This topic is all about printer setup in Puppy.
So if that does not work.
Look here:

Nearest printer was the 1022 and that didn't work.

I loaded the recommended foo2zjs file from the PPD directory. Cups finds the correct printer but still no printing. I am not sure if I need an extra file and downloaded eppi.tar.gz but don't know what to do with it.

Did you do what it says here?
Foo2xxx:
Some HP models like the old Laserjet 1000 series and the new Laserjet Pro P1102w can use the foo2xxx driver instead of HPLIP. Various Samsung, Minolta and OKI colour laser printers are also supported by this system. I have posted a combo 32/64bit package here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6gggshhgw ... ar.gz/file
However, the old HP 1000 laser printers require a firmware file be uploaded from the host computer to the printer.
My Puppy foo2xxx driver package contained these firmware files and handled the upload with a udev rule, like
Code:
Code: Select all
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usbmisc", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2b17", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/%k'"
So when you turned on the USB printer, it would be auto-detected and the firmware would be uploaded.
But the above packages contain none of this stuff, and I don't know if the udev rule would still work in Debian.
So I have built a stand-alone firmware installer tool for this group of printers.
It is part of the above combo package. Look for it in the System menu.
Run it each time the printer is turned on.

I have downloaded
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6gggshhgw ... ar.gz/file.
I did have a problem because I had an adblocker but disabled it and could then download but what do I do with it.
P.S.
I have it working now so thanks again for the help.
I removed all failed attempts and printers and did as rcrsn51 advised.
I spoke too soon and could not print anything else even after reinstalling the printer and canceling all jobs.

It is working if I remember to install the HP firmware after a reboot of the computer. So yes it is working.
Could I automatically do this for the HP 1020.

1. Download the attached file.
2. Rename it without the fake .gz extension.
3. Copy it to the folder /etc/udev/rules.d
4. Reboot or restart the printer.

There isn't that folder in etc in my xenial.

A Xenial guru will need to report where the udev rules are kept.

Too weird! Me and most likely everyone else running XP64 has an /etc/udev/rules.d folder.
Take your time and triple-chk...

Yes in xenialpup, the udev rules are in folder /etc/udev/rules.d/

If I search with pfind, it finds it but not if I open the installation.
I will try and use its result to paste the file.
Not there at all on my Dell Latitude E6230 either.

Your response suggests something odd.
HOW or WHAT ARE YOU DOING to access that location?

Are you navigating in the file system by using the Rox File Manager?
It can navigate to /etc/udev/rules.d/ for me.
If you are using some file manger you installed.
It may not be able to do it.

I have found it with Rox filer and transfered rcrsn's file and it is there but still needs an install of the file from system every reboot.

Dont forget to rename the file without the fake .gz extension.
I guess you only need to restart the printer ?
If it doesnt work, try these commands :
Code: Select all
#killall udevd
#udevd --daemon --resolve-names=early

I have renamed it to: 56-hplj1020 and it contains:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usbmisc", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2b17", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'cat /usr/share/hp-firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/%k'"
I did try your code and restart printer but still no print.
