HP LaserJet 1000/1005/1020 not working: sort of solution

[al37919]

you get no one positive detection on usb bus. The problem with usb flash drive supports my suggestion that you have hardware related problem. It looks like usb on the router isn't working at all.

Just in case, show output of:

lsmod

all the needed usb modules are loaded...

Well, I don't have better guesses at the moment besides faulty usb hardware on the side of the router. Sorry.

I have tested the router with an HP Laserjet 1010. I have connected de HP 1010 with an USB cable to the router. De router recognized the HP laserjet 1010 immediately without any commands with Telnet! Then I have maked an new networkprinter under Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10. There where on both operation systems no errors. Printing was no problem!

I have tested the internal chip from the 1010 in de 1020. The printer didn't work. Also tested the internal chip from the 1020 in the 1010 but then I get also problem's (printers doesn't work at al)

So the only solution was to exchange the printers to "solve" this problem.
Now I have exchanged the HP Laserjet 1020 with a HP Laserjet 1010. The 1020 and 1010 are using the same toner so that maked it easy.

Well, it's possible for HP LJ 1000/1005/1020.

1000/1005 seems to have firmware which fits to flashfs, 1020 needs external usb drive to store firmware, as it's large.

I've put some stuff here: http://oleg.wl500g.info/hplj/

You've to download right firmware sihp1000.dl/sihp1005.dl/sihp1020.dl to wl500g and upload to printer like this:

cd /tmp
wget http://oleg.wl500g.info/hplj/usb_printerid
wget http://oleg.wl500g.info/hplj/sihp1020.dl
chmod +x usb_printerid
./usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 | grep -q FWVER || cat sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0

This should load a firmware to the 1020 and it should work until power off or something. Check this.

In fact, someone should write a hotplug script to automate firmware loading...

Waiting for feedback.

Does anyone has HP 1020 printer + wl500 router + Linux computer successfully installed?

Does anyone has HP 1020 printer + wl500 router + Linux computer successfully installed?

I successfully setup Kubuntu 12.10, and Windows 7 to use HP 1020 via Oleg WL500gp V2:

Kubuntu 12.10:
Driver: HP LaserJet 1020 Foomatic/foo2zjs-z1 (recommended)
Connection: lpd://192.168.1.1/LPRServer

Windows 7:
Like Windows XP, BUT don't forget to uncheck two way communication in the printer properties unless it will continuously repeat the printing job.

Actually, I got the problem with HP Laserjet 1020 in that The problem I am unable to print properly I asked the one technique he suggested me once re-install the driver. I did what he said. Now my printer is working very good. If you have any problem with your printer better re-install and check your printer it may work better...
