Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2007-04-11 08:31:09 UTC

No ZJ-Stream driver can be free software because ZJ-Stream
requires JBIG (for example foo2zjs has JBIG included in source code
and rastertokmXXXXdl requires a JBIG library) but JBIG has patent
issues, see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/patents.html

For more details regarding JBIG and in particular
regarding HPLIP and ZJStream printers, see bug #342704.

Meanwhile I have a ZJStream printer HP LaserJet 1020
and with HPLIP 2.7.10 it works o.k. for me, see
