Comment 10 for bug 289410

thanks for the information Till Kamppeter, i just open new thread on hplip. Hope it will resolve my problem.

my question is, when will ubuntu will support hp laserjet p1006 right out of the box without much pain configuring it out to work properly?

sometimes ago i happened frequent misses print when printing multiple pages from evince viewer for .pdf file, it did print, but not all the pages, it only printed random pages. i didn't have time at the moment to do the debugging since i switch to vista to be the print server on my office.

i just purchased a dual-core intel atom and gave it a try on ubuntu 8.04.2 and hp laserjet p1006. hardy recognized it promptly and auto-installed the printer, i tested to print some documents and print from other ubuntu hardy on the network via ipp method, it worked (using the foo2zjs from hardy). but after a few hours, it wouldn't print anything both from the computer connected to the printer directly and from the network. :(

i remembered from feisty we use to compile the foo2zjs driver, so i check on some threads in launchpad and found this http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/. i did what it instructed me, uninstalled the ubuntu foo2zjs with "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge foo2zjs", recompiled and installed the foo2zjs from the foo2xqx site, setup the printer again, and found the same result with ubuntu foo2zjs which was it could print for sometimes and often did not.

so i tried to remove the printer again and run the "sudo hp-setup" to get it on track as of the earlier days of ubuntu hardy -don't know if it still has the multipages error print from evince viewer for .pdf file- but the response to print was so slow, it took nearly a minute or even more in some cases to print a job. i tested to run from other ubuntu hardy 8.04.2 machines on the network via ipp method but no luck, it still slow to print, though once its job were sent to the printer, the printer worked perfectly fast.

ubuntu printing, foo2zjs, and hplip team, please resolve this issue, the laserjet p1006 is a popular laserjet printer for its price and performance.

thanks in advance.

kind regards,
