Try HPlip HP linux imaging and printing. This is for all HP printers and multifuctio machines.

Try to use official HP driver HPLIP (HP Linux and Imaging and Printing)!!!

For the installation, open the terminal then cd to the directory where the script resides. Finally type sudo sh scriptname.run

EDIT:
I've managed to get my HP LaserJet P1005 working on Fedora 14 X86_64 through installing the foo2xqx driver. Here's a quick tutorial (copied from the project's homepage) on how to install the driver. Just copy and paste into the terminal (your user should be in the sudo'ers file).

wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
cd foo2zjs
make
./getweb P1005
sudo make install
sudo yum remove system-config-printer-udev
sudo make install-hotplug
sudo make cups
system-config-printer

I downloaded the hplip-3.12.2.run file but working through the terminal I encountered 8 missing dependencies.. An earlier entry above reffered to a web-site. Do I go to that web page and download a file or is it done through the terminal? Its a bit frustrating..my other computer runs Ubuntu and it recognises the printer automatically. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PS New member today!

Why? The hplip package is in the Fedora repos and can be installed with yum (as root):

Code:

yum install hplip hplip-gui

That will install the packages and resolve all the dependencies for you. You should get in the habit of using yum and Fedora packages as much as possible (similar to using apt-get in Ubuntu). After you've used yum to install those two packages, do this (as root):

Code:

hp-setup

That will detect your Laserjet P1005 and download and install the proprietary plugin required to make that printer work in Linux. The directions here explain it a bit more, but it can all be done using just the Fedora packages I've mentioned.

Excellent piece of information. My printer has printed its first test page! Thank you indeed
