The problem is solved in Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. Simply install HPLIP- Toolbox: Applications - Add/Remove.... Or hplip-gui in Synaptic, if you prefer.
When you start HPLIP Toolbox (in System - Preferences), it starts a sequence that allows you to download and install the missing firmware. Just say "OK" to each proposition that the toolbox puts before you. Have fun with your beautiful printer! :-) -- [Feisty, Gutsy] MASTER: HP LaserJet 1000/1005/1018/1020 don't work because of missing firmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
