Comment 35 for bug 65618

I had to re-install ubuntu recently and decided to install Feisty Beta. My printer did not work automatically.

I followed the instructions to download the firmware (getweb 1020) and to change the downloaded .img file into a .dl file (sudo arm2hpdl sihp1020.img > sihp1020.dl).
I copied this firmware file into /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/

Only then did my printer print out a test page.

Did I understand correctly that this problem will only be fixed in Feisty +1?

In that case, I think it would be important to write a descent how to somewhere to install the printer. I think this printer is very popular because it is cheap. I would be quite prepared to write a how-to like this if somebody else can confirm that this is still a problem in feisty.
