Connecting the HP LJ 1010/1015/1018/1020 printer in Linux Debian (Ubuntu) with CUPS 1.4 and higher

When updating the CUPS version, there was a problem of its incompatibility with the loaded usbpl module, which is necessary for downloading the 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:
-----------------------
Jul 1 02:18:57 kernel: [ 3115.009361] usb 1-2.5: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1
-----------------------
The solution to this problem:
- Download the module immediately after turning on the printer
- Unload the module immediately after uploading filmware

To do this, do the following:


0) Turn off the printer
1) Install the necessary packages

  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 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) Reboot the udev device manager

  /etc/init.d/udev restart 

5) Edit the foo2zjs script that runs when the printer is detected (disable the usbpl kernel module immediately after downloading the firmware). The file name depends on your printer model! (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 > $_dev; then log "... download successful." sleep 15 rmmod usblp #  usblp log " ... kernel module usblp disable now... " else log "... download failed." fi ) & return 0 } # # OK, now download firmware to any printers that need it # if [ "$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 #  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 

when working correctly, they will have the following:
