	This is interesting. Not too long ago I went to the Small
Business Computer Expo and asked the HP reps (not just the sales
droids but the tech rep on site) about Linux drivers for the 
DeskJets, and they all denied that such things existed- "but we 
are looking into it." What's the deal? Obviously there are drivers,
but do you have to go find them on linux.org/Freshmeat somewhere,
or do most distributions have built-in modules for the HP printers?
