HP printers firmware uploader

Thank you very much, Smask
I was able to follow your step by step guide without any problem.
The firmware downloads successfully into the printer as the ./hpljP1005 output shows:
READYNAS:/etc/hotplug/usb# ./hpljP1005
./hpljP1005: foo2zjs: loading HP LaserJet P1005 firmware /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl to /dev/usb/lp0 ...
./hpljP1005: foo2zjs: ... download successful.
READYNAS:/etc/hotplug/usb#
(if the printer is unplugged i don't get the "download successful" message)
But, when I try to print a test page from XP, no luck. the printer stays quiet as nothing had happened.
Any idea?
Thanx again
