I see. Well, I hope it can help people who just need their printer to work without having to build foo2zjs from source and install it manually.

However, the foo2zjs version in ubuntu should be upgraded so that all you have to do is to use webget to download the driver and put it in /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware. I hope this is the case for gutsy.
I guess this could even be automated with a script so the user could get notified about the legal concerns and choose to download the firmware if one of these printers are detected, or..?
