Step 1. Installing CUPS:
# apt-get install cupsys
Step 2. Installing foo2zjs driver
# apt-get install foo2zjs
Step 3. Turn on the printer and get the firmware to take its power
# getweb 1018
gunzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Error: Can't open '/usr/share/foo2zjs/tmp/sihp1018.img'
(c) Copyright Hewlett-Packard 2005
# file /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl
/usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl: empty
No!!! But, OK, we will get the firmware directly from website:
# wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/firmware/sihp1018.tar.gz
# tar xzvf sihp1018.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Oh, it seems that file is not in gzip format. So we need to check:
# file sihp1018.tar.gz
sihp1018.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive
# tar xf sihp1018.tar.gz
# arm2hpdl sihp1018.img > sihp1018.dl
# mv sihp1018.dl /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl
# file /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl
/usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl: HP Printer Job Language data
# cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
Step 4. Add new printer by CUPS's interface at http://localhost:631/. That all, let's go print your documents, e-mail, poems, etc.
Note: my Debian system is Lenny, but I think the instruction works for other. If have troubles, you may want to install foo2zjs from the source (newer version, than the one in Lenny). In that case please read how to do at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/. If still have problems, you can ask on forums for supports.

On my Lenny on adding the printer with url /dev/usb/lp0 the following error aappears in CUPS:
File device URIs have been disabled! To enable, see the FileDevice directive in "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
But there is no FileDevice directive!
this was great post.
i was able to restore this file and print again, after this file was reported to be deleted from(/var/log/syslog).
thanks!
You have a wonderful site with lots of useful data in it. I will indeed recommend this site to my friends as well.
