Printer Information (connected via network cable)
Device URI: hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_1022n?ip=192.168.0.100
Model: HP LaserJet 1022n Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.7

Working with my notebooks and computers.

To use foomatic/foo2zjs ppd file:
shell>> sudo gunzip /usr/share/ppd/foo2zjs/HP-LaserJet_1022.ppd.gz

Then System-> Administration-> Printer
Change Model to: HP LaserJet 1022 Foomatic/foo2zjs (recommended)
You need specify this file /usr/share/ppd/foo2zjs/HP-LaserJet_1022.ppd

It works!

For changing from the default to an alternative driver you do not need to extract the PPD file manually.

Simply do

System-> Administration-> Printer

Right-click the icon of your print queue, in the window popping up click the "Change" button in the "Make and Model:" line. Then choose HP as the manufacturer and "LaserJet 1022" (without "N" or "NW") as the model. On the right hand side of the model selection screen choose the "foo2zjs" driver.

Jaunty comes with a new version of HPLIP, which ships PPDs for the LaserJet 1022 series for HPIJS with a proprietary HP plug-in. Once you download the plug-in with "sudo hp-plugin" on Jaunty, you get full support of your printer with a manufacturer-supplied driver. I will look into letting the "sudo hp-plugin" be run by system-config-printer if needed.

Removing the assignment from Pascal, as we don't assign bugs to triagers during triage any more. Simply subscribe to the bug for followup emails. Assignment is for the person working on an actual fix.

Till,
Aren't the drv:///hp-laserjet_1022n-hpijs-pcl3.ppd HP LaserJet 1022n Foomatic/hpijs and drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1022nw-hpijs-pcl3.ppd HP LaserJet 1022nw Foomatic/hpijs entries redundant since we are talking about the same printer model in different versions (local, network, wireless)? Removing the redundant entries would leave the user only the obvious LaserJet 1022 choice when manually setting up the printer and give him the choice between all possible drivers (foo2zjs, hpijs, gutenprint) for this printer.

Fixed in upstream BZR repository of foomatic-db.

Added foo2zjs task, as PPDs needs to get added for the HP LaserJet 1022n and nw.

This bug was fixed in the package foo2zjs - 20100210-0ubuntu1

---------------
foo2zjs (20100210-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o Snapshot from Feb 10, 2010.
  * README.Debian: Updated completely outdated content. We are using the
    complete original source code again for longer time as there are no
    binary-only executables and no *.icm files any more in the source
    tarball.
  * debian/local/HP-LaserJet_1022n.ppd, debian/local/HP-LaserJet_1022nw.ppd,
    debian/rules: Added PPDs for some additional models (LP: #250872).
