The HP laserjet 1000 printer does not work "out of the box" with Dapper Drake at the time of writing. Furthermore, the instructions on http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/, which work under Hoary and Warty, do not work without some modification. This Howto describes the required modifications.
1. Follow the instructions on http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ to download the firmware and drivers for your printer and to install the drivers.
2. As root, edit the file /etc/cups/printers.conf and find the line starting with "DeviceURI". Now edit this line such that it reads:
"DeviceURI file:///dev/usb/lp0"
3. Now restart cups by typing: "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" at the command line. (Thanks to the posters at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu...sys/+bug/43824 for steps 2 and 3).
4. Now try printing a page
There is a link on http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ where you can donate money to the author of the driver. If you are able, I'm sure he/she will appreciate it.
