It might just not be in the std. distro. A couple-three years ago, I
bought a 1020 for myself, and had to find the driver and build it. Since
then, I've found them. You might either ask HP what driver to use, or see
if CUPS recommends anything.

Hmmm, I just brought up CUPS, and started walking through installing such
a printer. I see there's a 1500 driver. Should I assume you did all this,
and it can't find the .ppd? If that's the case, I'd question whether CUPS
was properly installed.
