It's very easy to use the HP LaserJet 1018 on Linux. This is a HowTo for the ASUS EeePC Xandros Linux
- Install the printer using Xandros printer management
- Use the code row from http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1018
sudo cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
Since this loads a driver into the printer you have to start it every time you connect the printer. I've put it into a small bash script ( ESC=Escape key ):
Home+T
vi starthp.sh
i
#!/bin/bash
sudo cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
ESC
:wq!
chmod a+x starthp.sh
./starthp.sh
