Was the printer connected when you installed the addon? If so, unplug the printer from the ReadyNAS, wait a couple of seconds and reconnect it. This should load the correct driver and download the matching firmware to the printer.

No luck. The NAS noticed that no printers were attached and said so. I reattached the printer and the queue reappeared.
I tried to run the /etc/hotplug/usb/hplj1005 (hplj1000) script and it complained that it couldn't find /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl. There is a firmware, /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihp1005.img, that the printer didn't like. Some new folders and a copy of my working fw later, the script runs ok without parameters. With "install-usermap" it stops on line 157. The script needs the ex and ed command.
