Linux supporters have choice between different packages to fulfill their hp printer needs. Hp does not provide coverage of other printer manufacturers or what could be qualified subliminal coverage:
hplip-**.xzm (13MB)
-the biggy, includes hpijs.The most recent version is to be found in .rpm form.
printer-driver-hpcups_3.12.6-3.1_amd64 (313 kb)
-same drivers as in hplip but stripped off. It is supposed to be ppd's excluded. Comes from .deb.
hpijs-3.12.4-4.el6.x86_64.xzm (MB)
- for hp inkjet printers. Some included in hplip or printer-driver-cups, others not. Comes from .rpm, if you want the most recent version.
Some more hp drivers package to come.
Enough for tonight and maybe this week.
Note: Compared to hplip and printer-driver-hpcups, gutenprint seems to cover more widely all the manufacturers, but less the hp manufacturer. Which seems a valid conclusion.

@francois
I am working on the HPPrint-Stack for Porteus-2 after Slackware 14. It is almost ready, at least for 32-bits-kde4.
Regards

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).

Re: printer drivers: the hp case
Good news!
Did you figure out the differences between the different hp database included in such packages as hplip, hpijs and the kind? I wonder if they overlap or not? Are some not much of importance? Do you understand what I mean?
In crunchbang or debian they have different printer driver database:
Also, how do you accomodate with hplip system the other manufacturer models? With gutenprint or with foomatic?
