Connecting an HP LJ 1010/1015/1018/1020 Printer on Linux Debian (Ubuntu) with CUPS 1.4 or later

When updating the CUPS version, there was a problem of its incompatibility with the loaded usbpl module, which is necessary for downloading firmware to the printer. When they work simultaneously, there is a conflict on the usb bus (simultaneous access), which is reflected in the logs of the / var / log / syslog system as follows: A solution to this problem: - Download the module immediately after turning on the printer - Unload the module immediately after loading filmware To do this, do the following : 0 ) Turn off the printer 1) Install the necessary packages
-----------------------
Jul 1 02:18:57 kernel: [ 3115.009361] usb 1-2.5: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1
-----------------------

 aptitude install cupsys gs-esp foomatic-bin foo2zjs cups-pdf   

2) Download the required filmware for the printer, convert it and place it in the appropriate folders:

 wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/firmware/sihp1018.tar.gz
 tar xvzf sihp1018.tar.gz
 arm2hpdl sihp1018.img > sihp1018.dl
 cp sihp1018.dl /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware
 cp sihp1018.img /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware
 cp sihp1018.dl /lib/firmware/hp
 cp sihp1018.img /lib/firmware/hp

3) Create a rule for the udev device manager to load the module when the printer is turned on.

 vi /etc/udev/rules.d/11-hplj10xx.rules

Specify the Vid and Pid of your printer! An example is given for 1018.

#Own udev rule for HP Laserjet 1018
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4117", RUN+="modprobe usblp"

4) Restart udev device manager

 /etc/init.d/udev restart

5) We edit the foo2zjs script that runs when a printer is detected (we disable the usbpl kernel module immediately after loading the firmware). The file name depends on the model of your printer! (For 1000/1005/1018/1020 - / usr / sbin / hplj1018)

 vi /usr/sbin/hplj1018

We are looking for and adjusting the firmware download process

#
#       Procedure to load a single device with firmware
#
load1() {
    _dev="$1"
    fw="$FWDIR/sihp$FWMODEL.dl"
    if [ ! -f "$fw" ]; then
        log "Missing HP LaserJet $MODEL firmware file $fw"
        log "...read foo2zjs installation instructions and run ./getweb $MODEL"
        return 1
    fi
    log "loading HP LaserJet $MODEL firmware $fw to $_dev ..."
    # There is a timeout problem with udev and FC4, so spin it off.
    (
        if cat $fw > $_dev; then
            log "... download successful."
            sleep 15
            rmmod usblp                     # Отключаем usblp 
            log " ... kernel module usblp disable now... "
        else
            log "... download failed."
        fi
    ) &
    return 0
}
#
#       OK, now download firmware to any printers that need it
#
if [ "$DEV" != "" ]; then
    #
    # force downloading to a specific device
    #
    load1 "$DEV"
elif [ -x $PRINTERID ]; then
    #
    # Sniff around for printers that need a firmware download
    #
    usblps=`find /dev/usb -name 'lp*'`" "`find /dev -name 'usblp*'`
    for dev in $usblps; do
        status=`$PRINTERID $dev 2>/dev/null | grep -y "hp LaserJet $MODEL"`
        if [ "$status" != "" ]; then
            # This is a LaserJet 100x
            chmod 0666 $dev
            status=`$PRINTERID $dev | grep 'FWVER'`
            if [ "$status" = "" ]; then
                # Firmware is not yet loaded
                load1 "$dev"
            else
                log "HP LaserJet $MODEL firmware already loaded into $dev"
                sleep 15
                rmmod usblp                     # Отключаем usblp 
                log " ... kernel module usblp disable now... "
            fi
 fi
    done
else
    log "HP LaserJet $MODEL firmware was not downloaded..."
    log "...couldn't find $PRINTERID and DEV is not set"
fi

change comes down to adding rows

                sleep 15
                rmmod usblp
                log " ... kernel module usblp disable now... "

6) Turn on the printer and look at the logs

 tail -f  /var/log/syslog

if they work correctly, they will have the following:
