Hi Ethan, imho, the 3390 can do postscript printing and afaik, it has a "stock hp jetdirect" printserver onboard, at least my 3392 does. So printing via the network can be done easily and independantly from hplip, just "postscript via jetdirect". Using an appropriate ppd, you can even select things like paper trays and duplex printing. I would recommend to go this way, if and only if, for some reason, you cannot make hplip work on your (kind of) old system.
