Rick Richardson, author of the foo2zjs driver suite, tells that foo2xqx supports the P1005, as he has a P1005 by himself.

So perhaps there are differences in firmware versions.

Rick, can you tell which firmware version you are using on your P1005?

perseus, Brett, can you also tell which firmware version you are using with the P1005?

To get the firmware version, have a look into the firmware file, /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_p1005.fw.gz (from HPLIP plugin) or /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl (from foo2zjs getweb tool).

zless /usr/share/hplip/data/firmware/hp_laserjet_p1005.fw.gz

or

less /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl

Near the beginning, you see an 8-digit date, like "20070517" or "20080415". Please tell it to us. Tell also how you got the firmware file, with the "getweb" tool of foo2zjs or as part of the HPLIP plug-in.
