I have an HP LaserJet 3015 that works with everything in my gnome DE, |
| 14 |
but IIRC I struggled until I discovered the net-print/hplip package, |
| 15 |
which is the opensource driver supplied by HP. It does everything |
| 16 |
including faxing, printing, and high-res color scanning all from my |
| 17 |
HP multi-function printer. |

Does your dad's machine have that package installed and configured? |
