19 I use that exact printer. I set mine up with hp-setup as root. You do
20 need a GUI or at least mine did. If you type in hp- and then hit tab
21 twice, you will see some other interesting commands as well. The set up
22 is pretty straight forward on mine. Cups seemed to do its thing after
23 that as well.
