HP LaserJet 1000 on Fedora Core 5

datavortex · #1 24th July 2006, 09:30 AM

Hello,

I am trying to get my HP LaserJet 1000 setup under Fedora Core 5. I closely followed the instructions on http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/, and I've verified that I setup hotplug correctly, and the firmware is getting loaded correctly when I connect the printer via USB or powercycle it. I have not yet been able to get the printer to work. The printer shows no response whatsoever to anything I have done, including sending/nuking print jobs, restarting CUPS, and probing the USB info.

I tried adding the printer through both printconf-gui and using the CUPS web interface. Both autodetect the primter and correctly suggest the driver I compiled. However, when I try to print a test page, I get a popup showing me an error long. The entire log is attached to this post, but here are the parts at the end that appear troublesome:

Code:

D [24/Jul/2006:02:34:29 -0400] [Job 21] LPGETSTATUS returned a port status of 10...
W [24/Jul/2006:02:34:29 -0400] [Job 21] Printer fault!

W [24/Jul/2006:02:34:34 -0400] [Job 21] Printer fault!

I'm not sure how to further diagnose this. My /etc/cups/cupsd.conf looks sane enough, only uncommented lines besides the HTTP directives are:

Code:

LogLevel debug
MaxLogSize 0
Printcap /etc/printcap

Only this printer is in printers.conf:

Code:

<DefaultPrinter laserjet>
DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0
Location HP LaserJet 1000 series
Info HP LaserJet 1000 series
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

/usr/bin/foo2zjs and its related programs appear to be installed, and respond normally when I poke at them. I have /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1000.dl.

And a couple other tidbits:

Code:

[root@media foo2zjs]# foo2zjs -V
$Id: foo2zjs.c,v 1.75 2006/05/02 04:33:58 rick Exp $
[root@media foo2zjs]# rpm -q cups
cups-1.2.1-1.7
[root@media foo2zjs]# rpm -q --whatprovides printconf
system-config-printer-0.6.151.7-1

And some output from strings on the firmware file:

Code:

cMFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:hp LaserJet 1000;CMD:ZJS;CLS:PRINTER;DES:hp LaserJet 1000;FWVER:20011207;
ELXR 2.0 (c) 1999 Green Hills Software    Build: Nov 23 1999
Link Date:      Fri Dec 07 09:07:02 2001
Host OS:        GHS_WIN32

I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. Any help is appreciated!

I've had the same problem since FC4... Once in a while if I try to add the printer from the CUPS web interface it will work.. but when I restart the computer Im screwed again...

Hello:
I am sorry if this sounds trite, if so I apologize, however have you downloaded the drivers from HPhttp://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=45675&p rodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=45674&swLang=8&taskId =135&swEnvOID=2020
I have an even older HP LJ 11P and it works flawlessy.

Seve,

Thanks for the tip. I don't believe I downloaded the driver you indicated. I did, however, download the printer firmware, using the method documented on the foo2zjs homepage linked at the top of the thread. I did this by following the instructions and running the included script, namely 'getweb 1000'. Do you have reason to believe that the driver in the firmware you linked will work better? Either way, I will try this firmware rather than the one recommended by the foo2zjs author.

Hello:
Honestly, I don't know, however, the only reason I recomended the driver from HP as it has worked for me.
As with everything your mileage may vary.
