Need testers for foo2zjs package

I have adapted the foo2zjs package to build now, unfortunately, I cannot test if it works.

Can anyone test and see it this works?

Works as well as the old package for me (edit - by 'old', I mean the last one that worked!), on a 64-bit box, with an HP LaserJet 1005.  That is, it prints fine once I've done modprobe usblp && sleep 5 && modprobe -r usblp, because the firmware doesn't upload otherwise.  Not a new problem, and I've bitched and whined about it elsewhere already, so apologies if you already know about this issue, and thanks for working on this package

Thanks, I guess I'll go bug the maintainer on the aur, hopefully I won't need to make a new package.

I'm now the maintainer of foo2zjs, and it should now coexist with drivers that rely on foomatic-db.

Re: Need testers for foo2zjs package

My printer doesn't work anymore since Cups 1.4.3. And I get this message in everything.log:

/sbin/foo2zjs-loadfw: Missing HP LaserJet 1000 firmware file /sihp1000.dl
/sbin/foo2zjs-loadfw: ...read foo2zjs installation instructions and run ./getweb 1000

I rebuild/reinstalled the foo2zjs-driver, but... didn't help.
