This printer is supported by the foo2zjs free software printer driver.

The printer is faster than the LaserJet 1000 and has a USB connection.
It has only 2 MB of RAM and 32 kB of ROM.

The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. You
can use a hotplug/udev script which comes with foo2zjs, or do it
manually: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0".

put the script in your ~/.bashrc file it that's the shell you are using.
