I got a cheap (bw) HP LaserJet p1005 half a decade ago. It works well |
13 |
with the drivers from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ , which lets me avoid |
14 |
using the bloated hplip mess (I tried that when I got the printer, it |
15 |
didn't work with network printing and required a running X session). |

It looks like the printer you mentioned only works with hplip. If hplip |
18 |
is acceptable to you, that is great, otherwise I would suggest looking |
19 |
for a different model that is either natively supported by cups or |
20 |
supported by the foo2X drivers or other similarly non-intrusive drivers. |
