Bug Description

Part I. Introduction.
I have laserjet 1020. On ubuntu 9.04 it worked using foo2zjs drivers. I moved to 9.10 and because of problems with foo2zjs, decided to use http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html and installed hplip drivers. All was good but at this morning my director has sent 130 pages on printer and powered it off to prevent printing. Another part of day I spent trying to return 1020 to life because reinstall using sh wisard script and unplugging, turning printer off and on doesn't have any effect. I've get communication error and thats all.

Part II. Solution.
I uninstalled foo2zjs using synaptics and then reinstalled printer using wizard sh script. Now it works even after powering off during printing. (I have also checked checkbox in hp-systray to refresh printer status )

Part III. Ending.
Please prompt for uninstalling foo2zjs during hplip wizard installation. Unfortunately, I am newbie to linux and don't know how cups and printing system works yet. To be honest, I even don't want to know how it works because I have a lot of another work to do.
