Yes this printer is similar to that.  You can see that on this page
describing how it works in Linux

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1000

"The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. You
can use a hotplug/udev script which comes with foo2zjs, or do it
manually: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1000.dl >
/dev/usb/lp0". "

Not sure if this means that this can also be done if it is on a client.
