Bug Description

I was unable to print from Lubuntu 13.04 to HP Laserjet 1018 USB printer.
Steps needed to rectify the situation:

1) cupsd doesn't start automatically unless /etc/init/cups.conf is edited to remove
the dependency to avahi-daemon which is not running.

$ sudo vi /etc/init/cups.conf

#start on (filesystem
# and started avahi-daemon
# and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]))
start on (filesystem
          and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]))

2) Install foo2zjs and its dependencies dc, mscompress and printer-driver-foo2zjs

$ sudo apt-get install foo2zjs dc mscompress printer-driver-foo2zjs

3) Download the firmware file sihp1018.img

$ sudo /usr/bin/getweb 1018

4) Load the firmware file to the printer

$ sudo /usr/sbin/hplj1018

5) Configure printer through System Tools/Printers
