OK the first problem is that "wget" doesn't work in PCBSD (based on FreeBSD 6.2).So I had to get the file using "fetch"

I unpacked the tarball, changed to the foo2zjs directory and tried "make". I got the following messages:

pcbsd# make

What's up? I could try the ports package of foo2zjs that came with PCBSD but the rkkda website recommends against it.

From INSTALL, you read it, right?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I did read it. But since the details of how these drivers work is a bit beyond my experience I tend to be consciously very literal minded. When the directions say you need the packages before "make install" I assume that means after "make". I'll install the other packages first and run it again. Last time I did it that way I got an error when I tried to install ghostscript. There was a conflict. If it happens again this time I'll post the error.

OK, when I try "pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu" I get the following message:

"pkg_add: package 'ghostscript-gnu-7.07_17' conflicts with ghostscript-gpl-8.60
pkg_add: please use pkg_delete first to remove conflicting package(s) or -f to force installation"

So do I leave it as is, delete the other package or force the installation? Just a note, if I try pkg_delete I get the message that there are other packages that depend on ghostscript-gpl-8.60.

Don't know.

I installed the packages first. I got the one message I already mentioned for ghostscript-gnu. When I tried to add cups I got "Cups-1.2.12 or older already installed".

gmake seemed to go fine.
I used ./getweb to get the firmware file for HP LaserJet 1020
gmake install went ok.
gmake install-hotplug went ok, as did gmake cups.

I tried to install the printer with KDE's tool. The test page wouldn't print. I rebooted and tried again. No go. So I went through all of the steps even though the test page wouldn't print. I rebooted. The printer still didn't work. If I use Kjobwiewer, the message is that the file is being processed, but there is no printing.

Just a note; In the KDE installer it says the URI is usb:/dev/unlpt0

I looked at some of the other posts here for the HP1020. Since this is FreeBSD there isn't a usb_printerid command.

I hope this is of some help in figuring out why the printer won't work. It does print from Windows with the same physical set up.

Thanks.

- Build the kernel without the ulpt driver. You should use /dev/ugenX.
- cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/ugen0.1

Thanks for the help. I couldn't get the PCBSD kernel to build without the ulpt driver. When I tried the second command anyway I got "operation not permitted". So I think I'm going to give a pass to PCBSD/FreeBSD until it's a bit more user friendly.

Just a note, I reinstalled PCBSD 1.4 and installed the printer driver from their ports package. It seems to work fine.

I'm using PCBSD 1.4 which is based on FreeBSD 6. I'm on a multiboot system with lilo as the loader. I have Windows 2000, PCBSD and a Linux distribution installed (Linux Mint which is based on Ubuntu). In PCBSD I"ve installed the foo2zjs driver both according to the script from this web site and from the PCBSD ports package. The result is the same. The printer works fine after the install. I can reboot and the printer works fine. However, if I shut the computer off and then restart, the printer doesn't work.

If I boot into Windows and print, then boot into PCBSD the printer works again. The install of the foo2zjs driver in Mint went fine and the printer works ok from there.

Changing the driver by recompiling the kernel and the problems encountered is seemingly beyond my current knowledge (see this post: "http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9998";, it's called "HP Laserjet 1020 USB, foo2zjs + cups madness!!!!".

I'm hoping that the solution to this current problem is a bit easier than recompiling the kernel.

- Build the kernel without the ulpt driver. You should use /dev/ugenX.
- cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/ugen0.1

Repeat: You should use /dev/ugenX

If I knew how to rebuild the kernel properly without the ulpt driver I would do it. From everything I've read it isn't trivial. So I guess I'm screwed. Thanks anyway.

So, then, use Linux. BSD is a hackers OS.

OK so I figured out how to rebuild the kernel. Now however I can't get the firmware to down load. I keep getting a "file not found error". This is new. Have the firmware files been moved?

Thanks

Yes. Re-download...

Using "./getweb 1020" I get an error;

"wget: not found
getweb: Couldn't download http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/firmware/sihp1020.tar.gz";

So I just downloaded the file with a browser. Since I don't know all that the getweb tool does I assume it just down loads the file and un-tar's it in the foo2zjs directory before the "gmake install" and so me doing this my self is sufficient to get the driver working.
