Installing a HP LaserJet 1012 on Ubuntu Feisty
July 30th, 2007
The LaserJed 1012 is supported by HP so it is a very easy printer to install.
Download the HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP) from .
Move the file from the download location to your home folder. If you downloaded the file to a directory other than your desktop change the following command accordingly:
mv /home/username/Desktop/hplip.2.7.6.run /home/username (where "username" is your usernam)
Run the Self-Extracting Installer:
sh hplip-2.7.6.run
When prompted choose the automatic installation mode.
At the end of the install you are instructed to restart your computer and run
sudo hp-setup
This didn't work for me, hp-setup never started so I just used the Ubuntu "Add a Printer"
System >> Administration >> Printing >> New Printer
Follow the steps, choosing the "HP LaserJet 1012" driver.
Your printer should now work!
