(Get the code!)
In Jaunty these printers (I tested with LaserJet 1020) and after once running "sudo hp-plugin" as described earlier here it works perfectly. The firmware gets automatically loaded into the printer whenever one plugs it in or turns it on (the transfer is indicated by blinking lights and the noise of rotating the mechanics). Note that the firmware transfer is delayed 3 seconds after connecting to avoid interferences with the power-on procedure of the printer. After that printing works perfectly with both drivers: foo2zjs or HPIJS with plug-in (the proprietary plug-in is downloaded and installed together with the firmware file).
If you have an HP printer set up by Jaunty but not working, have a look into the hp-toolbox (can be started by the right-click menu of the HP icon in the system tray). If there is an icon "Install required plug-in" on the "Actions" tab a plug-in, like a firmware file or a proprietary extension to HPIJS is needed. Clicking the icon runs "sudo hp-plugin".
