Hi Raj!

Cc:ing the Debian HPIJS and HPLIP maintainers mailing list, read below
for the reason.

This is very strange, since the latest [1] upstream getweb does:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#
#	Download a .tar.gz file from the web, untar it, and extract the
#	files we want
gettgz() {
    url="$1"
    file="$2"
    what="$3"
    
    wget $WGETOPTS -O $file "$url/$file" ||
	error "Couldn't download $url/$file"
    gunzip <$file | tar xvf - $what
    rm $file
}
[...]

getone() {
    case "$1" in
[...]

    [pP]100[57])
	gettgz \
	    http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/firmware sihpP1005.tar.gz \
	    ""
	copyright "(c) Copyright Hewlett-Packard 2008"
	;;
[...]

for i in $*
do
    case "$1" in
[...]
    *)	
	getone $i
	;;
    esac
done
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The above means that in no way upstream getweb provides you with a .dl
file, only with the .img one:

Debian getweb from package version 20090301dfsg-2 does the same, simply
because we missed the putfw call for the P1005/1007 models, now fixed:

  http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/foo2zjs/trunk/foo2zjs_20090301dfsg/?rev=184&sc=1

While I was at it, I also fixed the IMHO useless distinction for the
firmware directories: because of bug #517957 [2], in any case Debian
will store firmwares outside /usr.  Thus, in the meantime I decided to
use one single directory to store *any* firmware and since the package
is called foo2zjs, my choice was /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware:

  http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/foo2zjs/trunk/foo2zjs_20090301dfsg/?rev=185&sc=1

Can you confirm that with the Debian package version 20090301dfsg-3
(which I just uploaded) `getweb p1007` gives you a working printer,
please?

Bingo!  If only you had posted the syslog error before... ;-)

Since foo2zjs does not have any hp.c file in its sources, while hplip
does, this bug could be a duplicate of bug #517434 [3].  How to check if
I am correct:

- note down which hplip version you have installed with

    $ dpkg -s hplip | grep Version

- update hplip to version 3.9.2-2

- do your test

- report here your results

For the Debian HPIJS and HPLIP maintainers: if Raj confirms my
impressions above, I can take care of reassigning/closing this bug.
Please speak if anyone of you want to do it :-)

For quite a while now, I am vacant from IM/IRC, sorry, since they both
take me too much time.

Thx, bye,
