![]() ![]() It always requires firmware download else it won't print It also doesn't seems to be a problem for my RAW printer for CUPS service. This however, is a good news as it reduce the manufacturing cost of the printer. The disadvantages of Host-Based Printers is it no longer accept ASCII text directly from computer as all print images are generated by host operating system's print engine. It print much faster than those PDL printer since newer computers process at much faster speeds than most PDL printers processors. It utilize the power and resources of PC to render the printing images. ![]() In comparison, PDL-based printers use the processor and memory resources of the printer. Host-Based printing is a cost-effective printing technology that enables printers to utilize the processing power and memory resources of the PC (or the Host). The host-based software uses the computer's resources to process print commands and rasterizing data, taking advantage of the computer's memory and processing power. I found some interesting things with HP LaserJet 1020 after Google for solutions. To re-confirm the problem again, I attach the printer to my Windows Vista machine directly. CUPS receive the printing image and report print job completed successfully but the printer doesn't print anything. I then install the latest HP LaserJet 1020 printer downloaded from HP web site and configure the printer as usual. I plug the printer to the Linux machine's USB port and CUPS detect the printer well. I receive a HP LaserJet 1020 printer last night and try to configure it for CUPS. I have follow this rule to configure two other printers: Panasonic KX-1121 dot matrix printer and Samsung ML-1450 Laser Jet Printer. The CUPS will just re-route the raw printing image received to the printer. First, I thought all printers configure on CUPS as local raw printer should works for windows workstation as long as I use correct printer driver to render the printing image. ![]()
