Can anyone provide a download of sihp1018.dl for me? Trying to get the HP 1018 working with wyse terminal which always wants to download the firmware (hp say printer is not support in networks!). Im told by uploading the dl to the ftp branch when the winterm switches on it will load the firmware and work... cant seem to find it anywhere.

thanks
brian

Here's a guide on how to install your printer:

$ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz

Now unpack it:

Unpack:
$ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
$ cd foo2zjs

Now compile and install it. The INSTALL file contains more detailed instructions; please read it now.

Compile:
$ make

Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles for color correction,
and firmware. Select the model number for your printer:
$ ./getweb 1018

Install driver, foomatic XML files, and extra files:
$ su OR
$ sudo make install
# make install

(Optional) Configure hotplug (USB; HP LJ 1000/1005/1018/1020):
# make install-hotplug
OR
$ sudo make install-hotplug

(Optional) If you use CUPS, restart the spooler:
# make cups
OR
$ sudo make cups


Create printers (system > printing > add)

Important:
-After the installation type in a terminal:
# cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
