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.

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 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.

since HP supports Linux take a look here: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/productslj.php
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.

Forgive my naiveness, but I had thought HP was supporting Linux with all their recent printers. So far, I have 5 HP printers, including all-in-one's and have had no problems getting them to work.
Best regards.
I tried to configure my Samba share printer using yast2 on Suse-10, yast2 is not accepting an '@' in my Windows Workgroup password
when i physically go tinker /etc/cups/printers.conf , the printer works, here is the file <DefaultPrinter GL1_Laser> Info Xerox DocuPrint Location near VCs Cabin DeviceURI smb://ITLINFOSYS/digvijoy_chatterjee:dvch1981@@192.168.223.8/GL1_Laser State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer>
Also when i changed my password its working fine through yast2 , is this a known bug or is there a solution to it.

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.

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.

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.

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, much good it will probably do.

It's hard to know what's "known supported." I asked on this list, before I bought the ASUS mobo, and ASUS was recommended. Maybe they used a different network chip at the time, and I got caught in a change-over, I don't know. But I'm virtually certain that a previous version of SuSE ran on this network interface, and that 10.0 invalidated it. That really sucks!
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.
The info from the list, printed out earlier today, to get the 1020 to work, didn't pan out--I got an error message, and I have a query into Johannes Meixner, from SuSE, Germany, who wrote it, as to what to do to solve the problem. If I get it all to work, I will follow up to the list.
As an aside, what is the relationship between SuSE, Germany, and Novell?

I'll do that, but what is the extension called, and how do I find it? There seem to be 44 pages of extensions available.

The extension you want is called User Agent Switcher and allows you to set browser type on a site by site basis.

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. http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_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'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.

No.
See http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-info-for-manufacturers.ht... 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 ;-)
