I just bought this printer, thinking it would work right out of the box. I'm running SUSE 9.3 with CUPS
Which totally wrong source of information made you think that this weak printer is supported out of the box?
For general information see the printing chapter in our "administration manual": file:///usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-adminguide_en/html/cha.p.html or see our support database: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2000/08/jsmeix_print-kompatibel.html
For the particular model see http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Works with a modified version of the "foo2zjs" driver. ... The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- You need the modified version of the foo2zjs driver (the normal foo2zjs is included in Suse Linux 9.3 but not the modified version). You need the firmware of the printer (which cannot be included in our producs because we don't have permission to re-distribute it). You need to complile and install the modified version of the foo2zjs driver and get a matching PPD to set up a queue. You need to set up the firmware upload stuff.

I would really hope that the HP1020 driver will be included in the 10.1 and following editions of SuSE Linux. Also the driver for Broadcom NetXtreme NIC. I have 2 computers with Linux installed, and neither one is fully functional because of these incompatibilities. I will try the 1020 driver, now that the information is at least available, which it really wasn't, before. --dm -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
