Select the model number for your printer: $ ./getweb 2430 # Get Minolta 2430 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb 2300 # Get Minolta 2300 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb 2200 # Get Minolta 2200 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb cpwl # Get Minolta Color PageWorks/Pro L .ICM files
$ ./getweb 1020 # Get HP LaserJet 1020 firmware file $ ./getweb 1018 # Get HP LaserJet 1018 firmware file $ ./getweb 1005 # Get HP LaserJet 1005 firmware file $ ./getweb 1000 # Get HP LaserJet 1000 firmware file
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
Then open up your CUPS, Add a printer, choose LPD/LPR Host printer.
For the device URL type "lpd://PRINTER_IP/magi" while replacing PRINTER_IP with your printer's IP.
Then do the rest of the steps and print a test page. It should work. If not, you made a mistake or this is obsolete. You make the call.
