I tried the firmware download from the backported hplip in gutsy (2.7.12-0ubuntu2~gutsy1) . It fails with the following error in the terminal:

warning: I/O timeout
error: Firmware file '/usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_1020.fw.gz' not found.

I checked and I didn't have a /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/ dir, so I created it. Same results.

At last, I followed the getweb instructions above (actually, the script posted) and it worked fine. I just had to turn the printer off and on again. This is a 1020 model.
