And I have an old HP1200 Laserjet printer. The other day I
installed the 'hplip' package and today when I plugged in the
USB cable on my 8.10 system it auto-config the printer and
worked right the first time.
The toner for my printer is $100 each.
Bottom line: HP printer may require the hplip package.
