The correct name is: 56-hplj1020.rules

I ran some simulations and it looks like that udev rule should work in Xenial64.

1. Download the attached file.
2. Rename it without the fake .gz extension.
3. Copy it to the folder /etc/udev/rules.d
4. Reboot or restart the printer.
Success report... Running an old HP Laserjet 1020.

On Xenial 7.5-64, I installed rcrsn51's code above, as specified.

I installed the two drivers:

Code: Select all

foo2xxx_rcrsn-2014.04.26.pet
foo2xxx_udev_patch_upup387-1.0.pet
Powered off the printer, rebooted, powered on the printer and plugged it in. Printing test page works!

Thanks for your Guru skills and help rcrsn51! :-)

(Rerwin has solved a different problem in Xenial :-) )

Did I mention that you guys rock!
