Problem with a HP Laser Jet printer.
Folks, thank you for past help. Here's another one... I have an HP Laser Jet 1020 black and white printer attached to a PC running Windows XP Professional. It is my home network shared printer. I have no problem using it from other Windows machines. I am having no luck using it from my Linux boxes. (a Fedora and an Aurora). The CUPS package does not have a driver for this printer. I understand that this laser printer is a bit different from other HP laser jets, but I do not understand how this relates to my problem. Without me going into all the details of my guessing game do any of you know exactly what I should do? Ken Jones

It looks like it's supported by the foo2zjs package: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 Haven't used it myself or checked Fedora, but I see it available in Debian 4.0/Etch. Brian J. Conway
Ken, Are you trying to print through the XP box to the printer from your linux box? I ask because I just looks at my CUPS configuration and I have an option for "LaserJet 1020" as a printer. Thanks, Tim. On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 11:05 AM, Ken Jones <kjones@ziplink.net> wrote:
