Comment 42 for bug 96454

@Till Kampeter:
The firmware wasn't installed previously. I haven't paid close attention, but I think hp-setup was part of the sequence. In the sequence, I was asked for my password.

This is what I did:
- Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 with all updates processed
- I installed HPLIP Toolbox (Applications - Add/Remove.... - HPLIP Toolbox)
- I turned on the printer
- I waited until it was recognized by Hardy (couldn't do anything with it of course, because no firmware)
- then: System - Preferences - HPLIP Toolbox
- then the sequence started. As I already said, I think hp-setup was part of it. Some stuff was downloaded and installed as well; I suppose that was the firmware.
