Saw this on freshmeat today!
> 05/16/05: HPLIP 0.9.3 releases providing fixes and enhancements.
Nice to see HP providing what looks like very complete driver
support, and they continue to improve. I noticed if I apt-get
hplip in Hoary I can get version 8.7-4 from universe. I'm
tempted to try it just to see the difference.
Has anyone else tried it. I have a photosmart 7260 that works
well but I have to go to windows to do printer maintenance and cartage
alignment.
