I am interested in knowing whether anybody has successfully managed to use HPs InkJet drivers on Debian -- currently they are only available as binaries for RedHat (SuSE and Mandrake coming soon).
Unfortunately my attempts to compile the drivers in failed, due to the fact that printing with the new version of GhostScript generated loads of errors. I did receive this response when asking HP about support for Debian: > We are working with the distributions to produce more binaries. You may > want to put in your request with Debian as well.

I will also forward your request on to our developer. However I'm not sure whether the drivers could be incorporated into Debian at the moment due to the license (basically a BSD style license with a "HP only" clause) -- although I think I did hear they were planning to GPL them eventually. See http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/license.php for the exact license. Comments? Thanks, -- Chris Howells E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 93699029 Web: http://www.chowells.uklinux.net
