In 2009 I got a HP Color LaserJet CP1215. Unfortunately this printer is not compatible with OS X. Six years ago I managed to install the printer by using open source tools and drivers. In 2012 I got a new MacBook Pro and needed to install the printer again and I wrote about the process on my old blog. Now three more years have passed and when OS X 10.10 Yosemite came out I decided to do a clean install, but I didn't install the printer because I didn't need it. A few month have passed since then and now I needed to use the printer again and thus I had to install it again.
This is part tutorial, part reminder for myself on how to install this fucking printer.

You need GCC to compile C code. In my opinion the best way to get GCC is to install Xcode from the Mac App Store. In Xcode you have to install the Command Line Tools (Preferences > Downloads > Components).You also need Homebrew to install some libraries.Open a Terminal window and install
wget
and gnu-sed
.Download and install Foomatic RIP and HIPJS for Mac OS X. The page also includes a download for Ghostscript, but I used Homebrew to install it. The links state that Foomatic RIP and HIPJS are for OS X 10.8, but for me they work fine on 10.10 Yosemite.
Next you need to install
foo2zjs

In 2009 I got a HP Color LaserJet CP1215. Unfortunately this printer is not compatible with OS X. Three years ago I managed to install the printer by using open source tools and drivers. However, since I got a new MacBook Pro I needed to reinstall the printer and, of course, some things changed.
In order to remember the stuff I just did I will now shortly describe the process. However, I will not provide support if you struggle installing the printer.
If you upgraded to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and your printer stopped working please see the update at the end of this article.

Update August 26th, 2012: OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
When I upgraded to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the printer stopped working. However, I could easily resolve this by repeating steps 4 and 5. I did not uninstall anything, I simply downloaded the latest version of Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP, HIPJS and foo2zjs.
