Help setup HP 1020 printer.

I have an HP 1020 LaserJet printer which never worked with either Ubuntu 7.10 nor 8.04 I tried accesing CUPS and it does not even recognize any passwords (not even root password). The driver for HP 1020 does not work, it is simply dead. I thought about letting the community know about this bug. Having poor printer support can seriously stop Ubuntu from entering into a more Office environment. No matter what solution I tried, the HP 1020 never worked. If I ever found the solution, I would update you with it. It is a shame, Ubuntu is great, but being unable to print from it in part kept me on the M$ Windows side. :-\ Maybe should keep a closer eye on the CUPS / Printer support for future releases of Ubuntu. I heard it works great on Debian but never tried it myself.
