HP Laserjet 1020

[craigrose]

Hi pous

Try turning the printer off and then on again, followed by the hp-testpage command. It appears to me that whenever you change a driver and/or settings then the printer needs to be restarted for compatible firmware to be updated.

Fine, now I have also a solution:

1. Remove all HP-Tools

sudo apt-get remove hp*

2. Manual install of the new version (see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-w,e...all/index.html)

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.9.12.run
sh hplip-3.9.12.run

3. Restart and run the HP-Tool

hp-setup

I chose the plugin file manually from http://www.linuxprinting.org/downloa....12-plugin.run

I hope it helps someone.

Just tried running this script when I saw these message. This script is definitely touching things it has no business touching. I would not run this. Better to just throw the POS HP away!

It's trying to do what it's supposed to do. Your run failed at the first stage of simply extracting to a new directory created in the same place you ran it from, which would normally be somewhere in your home directory. From the look of it you seem to have run it from somewhere that didn't allow it to create a new directory.

Thanks much. Been all over the place trying to find a way to get my HP Laser Jet 2430dtn working and this did it.
Dell Dimension E521 & Ubuntu 9.10

Hi,

sudo apt-get remove hp*
I did the above, Ubuntu 10.04 warned me that I would do some serious damage, if I wish to proceed, I have to confirm by typing that I wish to proceed. I did and it killed my Ubuntu! Silly me! Just a warning to others... Maybe, someone wants to do a practical joke.

I found this works. http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/. Good luck.

UPDATE: as of Lucid, the HP Laserjet 1020 now works out of the box.
........

Does not work.

The same thing happens here as with if you would do it automatically:
You get the option to find drivers from the HP website or something, and this error occurs: "error: Plug-in file does not match its digital signature. File may have been corrupted or altered. Error code: 2".
Which is exactly the same thing that happens when I do it according to this guide.

HP Laserjet 1020 will still not print in 10.04.

I am so angry I will bang my head against a chestnut tree until it explodes.

I am having this EXACT SAME ISSUE with my 1018. Nobody in IRC knows a darned thing about it.

I ran sudo hp-setup -i and it seems I'm ok except for one thing: NOTHING PRINTS. When I send a test page, the printer doohickey responds: /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed

grrrrrrrrrr....

[arkanabar]

my issue apparently was due to openprinting.org being down. it's now back up, so things may well be better. Give your HP printers another shot, folks!

[amazed1963]

I was having a terrible time installing an HP1200 Laserjet on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.

The printer was taking about 15 minutes to print the first page. I probably spent 2 nights trying to scour the forums and get the printer to print without success.

My problem disappeared completely when I decided to use the HP LaserJet 5 driver instead.

I am sure the solution is not optimal though I haven't found any printing issues since then, but if it saves someone buying a new printer or lots of yelling at the computer screen...

do not type sudo apt-get remove hp*

this will delete and destroy many important files on your ubuntu install. I just killed my server thanks to this reckless command. I cannot believe ubuntu forums would keep such a dangerous command in a help forum. This destroyed my file and web server

this is not a safe command and do not follow instructions in this post.

SOLVED. I installed in 13.10 64 bits using http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web...all/index.html
