This is what I did to get it to work.
Emerge cupsd per first post.
Then emerge hplip 1.6.6a. It might be masked, so use a keyword. Do not use any additional flags.
Then start cupsd and hplip. Run "hp-setup" to see if the printer is detected.
Then configure your printer in CUPS web interface per instructions in first post.
Mine didn't work after this, so I downloaded the foo2zjs tarball from the actual website. I extracted it and then I uploaded the firmware. I restarted my PC and then it worked without a hitch, so I would recommend loading up the firmware using cat. |

I've followed this TODO but the printer doesn't work, dmesg prints the following:
| Code: | ppdev0: registered pardevice
ppdev0: negotiated back to compatibility mode because user-space forgot
|
I have a HP LaserJet 1005 Series printer connected to a parallel port. Any ideas where to start? |

Success! I am using 1005w via USB without hplip.
1) Configure the kernel as mentioned in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml and reboot to new kernel
2) emerge cups
3) Configure cups as mentioned in the guide
4) rc-update -a cupsd default
5) Add the line "FOO2ZJS_DEVICES="hp1005" to /etc/make.conf
6) emerge foo2zjs
7) switch on printer
8) /etc/init.d/cupsd (re)start
9) Configure printer via the cups webfrontend (see printing guide)
10) Print testpage
I am using hotplug and coldplug, and the firmware was loaded automagically to the printer, as you can see in this logfile excerpt:
(edit: Forget about hotplug, udev does the magic. The hotplug message resulted from an earlier installation of foo2zjs, I suppose!)

I haven't tested yet if I have to restart cupsd when I'm powering on the printer after booting, but even if I had to, that's no problem then at all.
So, henrik, if you have the chance to use an USB connection, that would be far more easy. I never got it workingwell with parallel port. |

Thanks for your reply saturday! I've got it working now!
The only thing is that I need to run this as root before using the printer: | Code: | | cat /lib64/firmware/sihp1005.dl > /dev/lp0 |

Yeah, I had got it working that way long ago, too. But I am really happy with the new USB-connection now. I had to buy the cable first, but the handling is much simpler.
Anyway, if you feel comfortable with the parallel connection, that's fine, of course.  |

It's no big deal, I've added the following to /etc/sudoers: | Code: | | username ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/cat /lib64/firmware/sihp1005.dl |
I've also added the cat command to my fvwm menu so all I have to do is to start the printer and select this line in the menu to make it work. |

I thought of running this command on startup but I don't have the printer on all the time... |

I ran into a lot of problems trying to get this printer to work. My final solution is here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3868823.html#3868823
If there's one thing I have noticed about this product line .. the same solution doesn't work for everyone. Hopefully this helps. |

When I try to emerge foo2zjs using the following:
| Code: | USE="cups ppds foomaticdb usb" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge foo2zjs
|
I get this:

What do I need to do in order for this to emerge successfully?
Thanks! |

As I mention in my linked post (just above yours), the driver works better if you install it directly. The author mentions this on his site, and I ignored it, but it really did turn out to be true. I never could get the foo2zjs package in Gentoo to work for me (this has not been the case for others though).
Sorry, I haven't seen the exact problem you mentioned. |
