Procedure

We need to patch the foo2zjs package.
You can try by yourself with my patch file or download directly my foo2zjs_20050217-2_i386.deb package.
On top of the changes proposed by the references given on top of this page, I had to make specific changes for Debian, especially for a correct hotplug integration.

• apt-get install hotplug cupsys cupsys-client foomatic-db
• apt-get build-dep foo2zjs
• apt-get source foo2zjs
• cd foo2zjs-*
• patch -p1 < ../foo2zjs_20050217-2.diff
• dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
• cd ..
• dpkg -i foo2zjs_20050217-2_i386.deb
• /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
• /etc/init.d/hotplug restart

2006-03 update:

Last release of foo2zjs is ready for HP 1020.
But Debian package does not contain the firmware neither the loader nor usb_printerid.
See Bugreports #279830 and #355576

• apt-get install foo2zjs
• wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
• tar xzf foo2zjs.tar.gz
• cd foo2zjs
• arm2hpdl sihp1020.img > /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl
• make usb_printerid
• cp usb_printerid /usr/local/sbin

Create the loader: create and make executable /usr/local/sbin/foo2zjs-loadfw

 #
 #       Hotplug script for HP1000/1005/1020 USB laser printers. The model number
 #       that this script deals with is determined from the udev env.
 #
 #       Used to download firmware automatically into the printer when it
 #       is powered up or plugged into the USB port.
 #
 #       The inspiration fo this script is from:

 #               Mike Morgan (2004)
 #       Modified by Stefan Schweizer (2005) to work as a udev-RUN-script
