HP Laserjet 1020 acting weird

palashc · 2015-07-26 03:47:05

The printer was working fine the last time I used it, which was around 10-15 days before. Yesterday when I tried to print, it failed to do so. I thought of reinstalling the printer, so I removed the printer using the web interface. But now it seems to be more messed up.

lsusb gives the following output.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:b40e Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd 
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:b001 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 03f0:2b17 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1020
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

However, when I try to install using hp-setup -i, I get the following.

HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.15.6)
Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

Enter number 0...2 for connection type (q=quit, enter=usb*) ?

I dont understand when lsusb recognises the printer, why is hp-setup failing to do so? Please help.

I have same problem, fresh install of archlinux, installed packages cups, ghostscript, hplip and hplip-plugin from AUR.
localhost:631 does not work for managing CUPS, after manual restart (systemctl stop / start) does, but printer isn't detected.
I tried new one fresh install of archlinux with foo2zjs drivers, same problem, printer is not recognized by CUPS.
On Ubuntu 15.10 printer work well with hplip driver.
