CUPS + LaserJet 1012 problem

Hi, all!

I have almost the same problem as in this post, but with HP LaserJet 1012. The following info is present on Information tab of Control Center->Printers:

State: Processing... (accepting jobs)
URI: ipp://localhost.localdomain:631/printers/hp_LaserJet_1012
Device: hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1012?serial=00CNFD165436
Model: HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs

I tried two drivers: 1012 hpijs and LaserJet 1012 pxl1010 - none of them helped.
When i send test page to printer, nothing happens. In job status window there are the following fields: job-printer-state-message="open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...", job-printer-state-reasons="none". Cups ver. 1.3.5-1, hplip ver. 2.7.10-1.

What can be done to allow printing with HP Laserjet 1012?

Re: CUPS + LaserJet 1012 problem

I'm probably the most inexperienced person here, but from this website:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_print … erJet_1012

it appears that the 1012 isn't fully supported or it just doesn't work like it should.  I quote from their website:

Unfortunately, the new LaserJet 1010/1012 series seems not to be absolutely compatible with older HP printers or it has a firmware bug. Sometimes it happens that the printer stops working and reports the error "Unsupported Personality: PCL". It only continues working when one kills the job and power-cycles the printer.

Anyways, I'm not sure it will work until someone does some tinkering with the drivers.

Probably not the most helpful post, but I just wanted to increase my post count.   

Best of luck!

Yes, i've read this note on linuxprinting.org, but considering that my printer didn't do anything (and there was written "stops working"), it's not my case.

Still looking for a clue .
