Description: HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP)
The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System provides full support for
printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) InkJets and
many LaserJets, and for scanning and photo-card access on most HP
MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.
.
HPLIP is composed of:
* HP CUPS backend driver (hp:/) with bi-directional communication with
HP printers (provides printer status feedback to CUPS and enhanced
HPIJS functionality such as 4-side fullbleed printing support)
* HPIJS Ghostscript IJS driver to rasterize output from PostScript(tm)
files or from any other input format supported by Ghostscript
(shipped in package hpijs)
* Command line utilities to perform printer maintenance, such as
ink-level monitoring or pen cleaning and calibration
* Command line utility to download data from the photo card interfaces
in MFP devices
* A GUI toolbox to access all these functions in a friendly way
* HPAIO SANE backend (hpaio) for flatbed and Automatic Document Feeder
(ADF) scanning using MFP devices
.
USB, JetDirect (network) and parallel-port devices are supported.
.
