Hi:
I just bought this printer, thinking it would work right out of the box. I'm
running SUSE 9.3 with CUPS, and it does not seem to support this model.
Anybody got this printer to work? Any pointers would help.
Best regards.

Some options.
Start Yast - > software management and look to see if you have the hp***
packages installed.
Have a look at your printer manual to see if that printer is emulating
another one, if it is select that model to install.
Try www.turboprint.de , they may list a ppd file for your printer. They have
a free version but it does print a logo on the page. Be warned, you have to
pay about £20 for the full version, this is what I did for my canon ip4000.

BW laser printer, max. 600x600 dpi, works Mostly
On SuSE 9.3 the hotplug script is not working properly. That's because there
are several character devices (no links) which are connected with the same
printer (e.g. /dev/usblp0 and /dev/usb/lp0). By default the script is
searching for devices which need a firmware. For each of those devices the
firmware is download and so the firmware is downloaded twice on the same
printer. This results in a error.
Read the web page, above. You should be able to get it working.

I have an HP 1200 working fine. I think all the 1000
series printers will pretty much work with the same
drivers. I'd pick whatever is closest to your model in
the list CUPS presents to you.

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

You need to complile and install the modified version of the

You need to set up the firmware upload stuff.

I think it works only by luck because the '@' is the delimiter
between password and server or password and workgroup in the
DeviceURI, see "man smbspool".
Perhaps '@', '/', and ':' in one of the values of the
DeviceURI
can be somehow quoted?
For example a ' ' is quoted by its hexadecimal value '%20'.
Perhaps this works also for other special characters.
I would simply use a different password.

It probably won't be because the
printer isn't fully supprted by the hp
drivers. the 1020 is similar to the 1005 in that it uses the windows
driver to do much of the work (kinda like winmodems). The 1005 is a
fairly old printer, and it still doesn't work properly.
Also the driver for Broadcom NetXtreme NIC.
This does work in 10.0. I have one in my notebook. All the gigabit
cards from Broadcom uses the tg3 driver, which is definitely included
and fully working. I set one up on 9.3 box yesterday morning.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you are asking/saying here but:
Will HP or Broadcom have their respective OSS/GNU/Linux drivers released
prior to the release of SUSE Linux 10.1 and following editions? Last I
knew, SUSE did not make the hardware mentioned nor were they hired to
create and maintain the drivers for this hardware.
Have you contacted either HP or Broadcom about making OSS/GNU/Linux drivers
for these devices and making them available to OSS/GNU/Linux in general?
_IF_ these manufacturers provide OSS/GNU/Linux drivers,then SUSE and all
the other OSS/GNU/Linux projects and distributions could possibly provide
them.
Please contribute to OSS/GNU/Linux software by at least buying known
supported hardware, and failing that, apply pressure where it needs to be
brought to bear: hardware manufacturers that aren't OSS/GNU/OSS compatible.
That is a great question to ask: "Is your product OSS/GNU/Linux compatible?
And if not, why not?" Maybe they really don't want your business.
Getting off the soap box,

Very likely not, but most of the other drivers we have have been
reverse-engineered, why shouldn't these be?

I have contacted Broadcom, and they are thinking about Linux drivers.
But they refuse to deal with end-users. They just sell to board
manufacturers, who probably don't care.
I haven't contacted HP. They claim to support Linux. I will bug them,

HP spends a great deal of money supporting Linux
and OpenSource.
http://www.hp.com/go/linux
A number of years ago, shortly after the infamous Winmodems, some printer
vendors like HP, decided to produce some reduced cost printers pushing some
of the processing back to Windows.
In any case, http://linuxprinting.org/ is a very good site to get
information on just about any printer. The following information is
published regarding the 1020.

_If_ you are right about 'it used to work' in a prior version then 'it
should work' in 10.0. The trick is figuring out what changed and how to get
it back. One nice troubleshooting option is to boot the Knoppix or Kubuntu
live CD and see what happens. This can help determine what needs fixing.
I expected that all HP printers would use Post-Script.
It was a nasty
surprise to find that this 1020 didn't. The temptation to buy a laser
printer for under $200, compared to the $500 and up level I had paid in
the past, led me to just get the 1020.
I've been sorely tempted by those prices also. But I happened to be
comparing different brands and noticed that supported OS's were only
Windows-whatever for those really cheap lasers. That led me to further
Googling and such that confirmed they were Windows-only 'winmodem' style
printers. Reverse engineered drivers are the only option for these.
The info from the list, printed out earlier today, to

No.
See
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-info-for-manufacturers.h…
which drivers we can include and see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/1998/06/ke_printer-gdi.html
for some reasons why we cannot include problematic drivers and
why we normally don't include drivers for problematic hardware.
The driver with a matching PPD for the LaserJet 1020 doesn't work
because - see what I wrote before:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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 set up the firmware upload stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore note that even the free HP driver HPLIP does not
support this model:
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/productslj.php
In general see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2000/08/jsmeix_print-kompatibel.html
Also the driver for Broadcom NetXtreme NIC.
I don't know about such a printer ;-)
