Installing HP LaserJet 1020 Printer for OpenSuSE

Printers such as the HP LaserJet 1020 (1000, 1005, 1018, 1022 inclusive) are usually detected by the various Linux distribution.  However, there seem to have little success in ensuring that the printer drivers installed works.

Luckily for us, there is a driver that works very well with OpenSuSE (I have also tried it with Ubuntu and SuSE Enterprise) and it can be found here.

Installing has never failed for me and the steps are basically (detailed instructions can be found at that site),

  • Download it
  • Untar it
  • make
  • sudo make install
  • sudo make install-hotplug
  • make cups
  • yast2 printer

It has been working for me each time I install a new PC/Server with SuSE or OpenSuSE.  Great tool and please do donate to their effort.
