Ubuntu 10.10 problems installing HP deskjet 1000...


I have Ubuntu version 10.10 and I'm trying to install the HP DeskJet 1000 J110a printer. I have HPLIP version 3.11 (the latest version I believe). The printer shows up but when I try to print the error message reads: Printer requires the 'foomatic-rip-hplip' program but is not currently installed. I am very new to Ubuntu so simple instructions please! Sorry if I didn't convey my question accurately so if you have any questions please ask, but be specific I still don't know much about Ubuntu.

Start the Synaptic Package Manager (faster and more efficient than Ubuntu One) and search for "foomatic."

If they aren't present, install hpijs, the foomatic-db-engine, and the foomatic-compressed-ppds and see if they help.

I have an HP Officejet Pro L7680 that works great and those are on my system.

There's some other foomatic stuff that the search turns up. If the above suggestion doesn't work, try installing the other items one at a time until you find the one that does the trick.

Let us know what happens.
