Finally got this POS working... Someone posted a few days ago about how to do it and since I have the new 9.2 SuSE built decided to give it a try again. SUCCESS! Follow the directions on this site and your HP 1000 printing problems will be a thing of the past! http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ after you follow the instructions make sure and complete this step before going into YaST to setup the printer... 'The firmware doesn't load via hotplug after after 'make install'. Solution - before you hook up the printer, after you restarted CUPS, run './getweb 1000' as in the install procedure. It will download some stuff and make a script called 'hplj1000' in the root of the source tree. Copy that file to '/etc/hotplug/usb', verify it's permissions (should have read and execute for root at least), then run /etc/hotplug/usb/hplj1000 install-usermap Then everything works perfectly :) After setting the printer up in YaST I had to reboot my system to get everything working, maybe you'll need to maybe not. Drop me a line if you have problems... I have been tring to get this HP 1000 to work for over a year and have intimate knowledge of the beast. Good Luck.
