Making HP 1018 USB printer work on Debian linux

January 24th, 2009 admin No comments

First we will install build-essential, foomatic-filters, cupsys with the following commands:
       

$ su
# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get install foomatic-filters
# apt-get install cupsys
   

Then we have to get the necessary firmware and software. 
$ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
$ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
$ cd foo2zjs
$ make
$ ./getweb 1018
$ su
# make install install-hotplug cups

 

Than we open it with Firefox web browser

$ firefox http://localhost:631

Ако пуснем Линукса и принтера е пуснат чрез USB,  можем да го накараме да си свали автоматично firmware като извършим една стъпка:

Now if we start linux with the usb printer plugged in, we can make it automatically download and apply it new firmware. This is done via:

# make install-hotplug

Reset the printer.

The printer will load every time with the init during the printer device scan.
