This USB problem is not unique to Slitaz 4.0, according to what I see when doing some Googling, but is also seen in other distros, while it is not seen in others.

More printing options are available if lpr commands can be executed. Thus far, lpr commands fail, so I have some more troubleshooting ahead. Using the above command-line to print output from Leafpad gives perfect print-outs. Default values are used if no options are specified. The foo2xqx-wrapper binary accepts some basic printing options on the command-line. The foo2xqx driver prints postscript files. Every time the printer is powered-on for use, the firmware file must be sent to the printer this can be automated, or done manually. For the HP LaserJet P1006, a firmware file must be downloaded during the foo2xqx installation process. Everything essential for make is in the repository, and those who have compiled software probably have most of the needed packages already installed. You will not find the package dc.tazpkg in the 4.0 repository it is contained in bc.tazpkg.

Among the multiple dependencies are cups, foomatic-filters, ghostscript, and dc. Reading the INSTALL file included in the tar.gz download is essential, however, and do expect to execute the make command several times until all dependencies have been satisfied. Installing the foo2xqx driver and adding the printer via the CUPS interface is relatively easy, as compared to installing the hplip software and trying to get the printer to work. This driver is another option for users who own this printer model and who have not had success with the hplip driver, as was my experience with hplip-3.12.2.tazpkg. I've installed the foo2xqx driver for my HP LaserJet P1006, and the printer is functional.
