HP  Laserjet  1000/1005/1018/1020  on  OS  X  Lion/Mountain  Lion/Mavericks    To my dismay, I found out that Mac OS \ Lion docs not support the Hp Laserjet 1000 out of the box, not even with the�latest printer driver package from Apple. With a little work, it is possible to configure OS X Lion and Snow Leopard tosupport the HP Laserjet 1000.

First we will need to install XCode if it is not already installed. XC'ode is available in the Mac App Store. When it is done downloading, go to the Applications folder and run the -'Install XCode" application.

Next we will need to install MacPorts. The fastest and easiest way is to use Mac OSX Package Installer. Please follow the project's detailed installation documentation to get it configured on your system. Once the package installer is done, fire up Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/ Terminal).

From within Terminal, we will need to update MacPorts to the latest release and install a few applications.

S sudo port -v selfupdate (Update MacPorts - password required)

$ sudo port install coreutils (Install coreutils)

$ sudo port install wget (Install wget)

$ sudo port install gsed (Install gsed)

We will now need to download and install Foomatic-RIP and Ghostscript. Mac OSX Packages are provided by the Linux Foundation at this Link. Additionally, we will need to download and install foo2zjs From within Terminal we will download the foo2zjs package, compile, install, and configure foo2zjs.

S cd -/Desktop (Change to your Desktop directory)

$ wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz (Download foo2zjs

S tar -xzvpf foo2zj s . t a r.gz (Extract foo2zjs)

$ cd foo2zjs (Change into the newly exjrraced fgo2zis directory)^

S make (compile foo2zjs)

$ ./getweb 1000 (Download HP LaserJet 1000 firmware f i l e )

$ sudo make install (Install foo2zjs)

$ sudo make install-hotplug (configure hotplug)

Now we're ready to add the printer via System Preferences, but do not close Terminal just yet. Click on the Apple icon on the menu and choose System Preferences -> Print and Scan and click on the "+" Then choose the "HP LaserJet 1000" and it should automatically load the HP Laserjet 1000 Footmatic/foo2zjs under Print Using. Click on "Add" to add the printer.

 We're  almost  done.  Just  need  to  do  a  little  bit  more  from  Terminal.  

$  sudo  lp  -­‐oraw  /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihplOOO.dl          (upload  the    firmware  to  the  printer  After  issuing  

the  last  command,  the  printer  will  make  a  sound  as  if  is  starting  up  and  the  printer  is  all  ready  for  printing.(maybe  

plug  the  printer  off  and  on  again…)
