I had to install hplip (which you already did) with sudo apt install hplip (installed with sudo apt install hp-ppd). install.py and follow the onscreen instructions.Ĭonsidering you have 1 "HP LaserJet 1000" printer connected to your USB and 0 such printers already addded.īefore this set-up, I've installed (but not sure if makes difference) hp-ppd Once you've patched hplip continue the installation by running. If you're unfamiliar with patching I have patched the source for hplip and made it available for download. Once those dependencies are installed - you'll need to download the source for hplip, I can't confirm that it works for the latest version, however I have successfully patched 3.10.9 You'll also need to install these dependencies first: sudo apt-get install libcups2 cups libcups2-dev cups-bsd cups-client libcupsimage2-dev libdbus-1-dev build-essential ghostscript openssl libjpeg62-dev libsnmp-dev libtool libusb-dev python-imaging policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome python-qt4 python-qt4-dbus python-dbus python-gobject python-dev python-notify python python-reportlab libsane libsane-dev sane-utils xsane In order to get the hplip drivers to work you need to patch them with this patch. hplip doesn't support the HP Laserjet 1000 without patching - which is unfortunate because it's a pretty affordable and a pretty decent printer.

I'm glad you asked this because it took me quite some time to figure it out myself.
