This printer is not supported by HPLIP even if CUPS offers you an "hp:/..." URI. If there is also a "usb:/..." URI, select that. If not, do
sudo /etc/init.d/hplip stop then turn off and turn on the printer again, wait until it stops blinking (automatic firmware upload) and create a queue with the "usb:/..." URI which CUPS will offer you now. Does it work now? Will tell to the HPLIP developers that HPLIP should not offer URIs for the HP LaserJet 1000/1005/1018/1020 or it should really support it (printing and toner level check). ** Also affects: hplip (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Package broken/incomplete, missing firmware files https://launchpad.net/bugs/65618 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
