Hi ,
I am facing problem installating HP 1020 laserjet usb printer on Redhat linux 5.2 client.
please suggest the solution.
Is this RedHat the very old 5.2 version or is it RHEL 5? Generally in Ubuntu, the hpijsfoo... driver package has to be uninstalled using apt and you will have to download the equivalent driver's tar.gz file from openprinting.org. Untar it and give the make and make install commands. After that create your new printer using the new driver. One way of checking if your printer is at least detected is that when you run the setup dialog, you get a list of ports. If your printer's name is listed with the port then at least the detection is proper.
Sometimes the Gnome or KDE GUIs mess up with the permissions and you cannot authenticate just at the end of your setup, so use the localhost:631 interface in your browser. For authentication, use 'root' and its 'password'. You may have to add the regular user to the 'lp' group in the /etc/groups file, log off and re-login.
