HP LaserJet 1020 - Getting it to work in Ubuntu
The foo2zjs driver shipped with Ubuntu Edgy doesn’t work. Uninstall it using the Synaptic package manager. Then install the “build-essential” package using Synaptic. This allows you to compile source code. Then get foo2zjs from the homepage. Follow the directions at the bottom of the homepage. Works like a charm.
The Ubuntu bug report on foo2zjs says that this has been fixed, but didn’t make it into Edgy. As of the writing of this post, it is not in the package repository.
Update from a Friend:
On Feisty you do not need to rebuild the foo driver.
Just do this:
getweb 1020
sudo arm2hpdl sihp1020.img > sihp1020.dl
sudo cp sihp1020.dl /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/
