Edited Notes

This printer is supported by the foo2zjs free software printer driver.

The printer is faster than the LaserJet 1000 and has a USB connection. It has only 2 MB of RAM and 32 kB of ROM.

The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. You can use a hotplug/udev script which comes with foo2zjs, or do it manually: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0".

Consumables/Refills: Print cartridge (2000 prints) - $65 Part numbers: Q2612A

User Notes

On some systems the file is located at /lib/firmware/sihp1018.dl

On Fedora for automaticaly firmware loading you can create a rule in the /etc/udev/rules.d with next line:
  KERNEL=="lp0*", RUN+="cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0"
