Some printers are incompatible with the daemon used for printer sharing (p910nd) and
therefore are out of the scope of this project to fix them.

Please refer to p910nd project in order to address this.

** SOLVED for LaserJet 1020 **

After some research on google, I found a solution here http://downloads.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=424483

Just send a specific firmware for your HP printer. You can do this by accessing the NS-K330 via SSH (root login, password snake), and do the following steps for HP 1020:

1 - Download a firmware update: wget http://oleg.wl500g.info/hplj/sihp1020.dl (this is for Laserjet 1020, 1018 also tested changing the last value od .dl file)

2 - Send to the printer with the command: cat sihp1020.dll >/dev/lp0

The printer will start, and from there will work normally with the SnakeOS.

Hello Ismael, these are excellent news!! I downloaded the sihp1005.dl and I am ready to send it to the printer. Before doing it and, since I am not a guru of changing firmwares in printers, can you tell me some few hints:
1- file downloaded is ".dl", shall I simply change name to ".dll"?
2- how do I backup the current firmware (in case I have to recover it)?
3- have you tested the printer with the new firmware directly connected to a PC again? Any difference after the upgrade?
I would appreciate those inputs before go ahead :-)

Many thank in any case for the good news!! I think I will try in any case :-D Worse case is to buy a new printer. This time in the list of compatible ones from the beginning ;-))

It is not necessary to rename the .dl file

To automate the process do the following:
 
1 - Record sihp1020.dl file in /etc/init.d
2 - Edit /etc/init.d/sshd and insert the following line
function start ()

/bin/cat /etc/init.d/sihp1020.dl >/dev/lp0

3 - Web: System> Config> Config Save

* Whenever you turn off the printer, you should also turn off the BT and
start the two together again to send the BT driver
automatically at startup, and thus can use
printer.

Hi Ismael, thanks for you help. Issue99 proposes few scripts to automate the load of the firmware automatically when connecting or switching the printer. comment 16 with a minimal swap of the setprinter position works perfectly. Maybe you want to have a look to it.
Thanks for your help.
