USB printer not detected
I'm trying to use an HP Laserjet 1000, and whenever I try to install, the response is "No Printer Detected". This is despite the fact that I've confirmed that the printer is plugged in both to the power bar (lights are glowing green) and is also plugged into the USB port.
The USB appears to be working, as the mouse is a USB type laser mouse and is working fine.
The printer works fine under Winblows. The box is a dual boot XP/Linux. I don't want to boot into XP ever again, hence the need to get the printer working.
The firmware for the HP 1000 needs to be manually loaded, and appears to be correctly set up. I'm now seriously thinking that the problem lies with the USB, as I'd not been able to get my SpeedTouch USB modem to work either and ended up swapping it out for one that plugs into the Ethernet card I had to add.
