If your OfficeJet supports        PostScript, just the correct PPD will do the trick. If not, you'll       prabably need the HPLIP package provided by Paul Smedley.        At this time I am just waiting for the latest release of HPLIP,       since I was not able to make it run with my printer... in the mean       time, I am using the PostScript version, since my printer supports       PostScript v3.               Regards,               Daniel Caetano        daniel@caetano.eng.br                     On Tue, 28 Sep 2010 00:00:38 -0400, Eugene Poole wrote:              >I've got a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a.
